Cool, nice island! It’s pretty hot for me, but I prefer much colder weather as a baseline. More than the heat though, the humidity is so heavy it feels like I’m swimming through the air.
There was actually an earthquake about 30 minutes ago here!
I like it! Monsoon season is my favorite season. Plus the people here have been so kind, it’s been a really positive trip so far.

Figure, though I have no reference how dry air actuality feels since it’s pretty much humid all year round.

I didn’t even know that, the news says it’s pretty mild.

Glad to hear that, the general consensus is we’re pretty friendly toward foreigner.
Got any food recommendations?
What have you tried?
The usual suspects for Yogyakarta is :
Gudeg (Slow cooked Jackfruit, sweet/savory) Gudeg Pawon is the famous one.
Sate Klathak ( Satay, griilled meat )the famous one is Pak Bari (Mr Bari) or Pak Pong
Bakmi (noodles)
The House of Raminten, local legend serve pretty much everything
Angkringan, IDK how to describe this one, maybe it’s like Izakaya
There was only one big bump from the earthquake, and then a bunch of little shaking for 30 seconds.
I tried sate padang, I definitely lean towards saltier flavors.
How is khlatak different?
I actually went to the house of raminten the other day, if you scroll back a few posts you can see the bamboo chicken I posted!
A local actually took me there, and I thought it looked a little too fancy and that it would be catering to tourists rather than authentically end of asian, but it was very comfortable and the food was good so I was more than happy.
That’s the second time somebody had told me about bakpia, should I look for it in bakeries or roti shops?
Thanks very much I really appreciate the recommendations.
If you’ve only been in this climate, experiencing a dry climate is worth the trip, it is wildly wildly different, every second. Like your skin doesn’t get sticky every 20 minutes or so.
Of course I’m only here in monsoon season and I like walking around in the rain anyway, so maybe it’s totally normal in the dry season.
I’ve had kwetiau, mi goreng, cumi and udang cabe garam, siumai, other types of sate, all sorts of stuff, I love exploring a country through its food.
Neat. How’s the heat ? Am local, or at least on the same island. It’s a wet season so I guess not that hot ?
