Jogja Trivia


glowing dustbin
Swiped from eruin_1.
Some random observations about Jogjakarta:
  1. The people there seem to have a love affair with dustbins that have a swivel lid. They're everywhere!
  2. For cheapo public toilets, shallow cisterns are commonly used with no flushing mechanism. Really not for big business!
  3. Over in Malaysia, buildings usually have stone plaques of VIPs who officiated them. In Jogja, they frame up the written messages.
  4. They are obsessed with the cartoon "Little Krishna". The blow-up toys are even sold at the roadside. At first I thought they were mini "Avatar" characters! It boggle the minds that Asia's most populous Islamic country has citizens that adore a cartoon with a Hindu god as its main character! This only shows how shallow Malaysians are.
  5. Horse carriages are still a common sight.
  6. The Jogjakarta Sultanate preserves the traditional dance and music. Even the ancient Javanese writing is still used.

This wraps up everything Jogjakarta related I guess. Hehe. Until the next holiday destination!
