Gedung Agung Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta presidential palace was originally the official residence of the Resident to-18 in Yogyakarta (1823-1825). He was a Dutchman named Anthonie Hendriks Smissaert, which also is the initiator or the initiator of the development of this great building.

This building was established in May 1824 in the Dutch colonial period. This originated from the desire of the "palace" is authoritative for the resident-Dutch residents.



















Architect named A. Payen; he was appointed by the Governor General of Dutch East Indies at that time. Follow the style of the building of European architecture adapted to the tropical climate.




















Gedung Agung Yogyakarta is one of 5 presidential palace in Indonesia. Other presidential palace in Jakarta, Bogor and Cipanas (West Java), and Tampaksiring (Bali).

Waiting Kerak Telor

"Kerak Telor" is one of original Betawi's traditional food (Jakarta).

"Kerak Telor" containing with the materials of white sticky rice, chicken egg, ebi (salted dried shrimp) is added dry roasted onions fried, then given a refined flavor of toasted coconut, red chilies, kencur, ginger, pepper grains, salt and sugar.

Now, is rarely we can find this food in their original place, Jakarta. So.. it's surprised we can find it in Yogyakarta...

Alun-Alun Kidul

*North side of Alun-Alun Kidul



















Alun-alun Kidul is one of favorite place in Yogyakarta. Alun-alun Kidul is contain two words, there are Alun-alun in English is square, and Kidul (Javanese Language) mean south. Because the square is located on the south side of the Keraton Yogyakarta (The palace of Yogyakarta).

There is a myth in Alun-alun Kidul. Our desire will be answered if we could walk through between the trees with closed eyes from the north side square. Its looks easy, but you can believ or not, some people hard to walk through between the trees.

Allegedly, the myth is used to prevent colonial enter the Keraton area in the colonial period.

Mesjid Agung Semarang

I am so sorry this pictures s not about Yogyakarta. But I think this is interesting mosque which I have found in Gajah Raya Street, Semarang City, Central Java.

The mosque is called "Mesjid Agung". There are few unique things you can find in this building. The giant umbrellas is same with Nabawi Mosque's umbrellas, only two same umbrella in the earth. About the tower, that have size 99 meters represent Asmaul Husna (Allah's Names).

In front of the umbrellas, there are 9 shower pond, represent 9 people who spreading moslem religion in Indonesia. Look the tower picture, you can see few piles. there are 25 piles make a half circle, represent 25 of moslem prophet.

Unique mosque...
