Live-in @ Banjarasri Village, Boro, Yogyakarta (Part 4)
DAY 4: Friday, Oct 31th - THE FINAL DAY
MORNING
This is the final day... the teachers said that we had to get up early because we had to leave early... (well yeah of course that's the point of getting up early). So we managed to get up at 5 AM... Actually it was me who got up first because I felt like I had to have a bath... I just felt so greasy, sweaty, and oily... I couldn't sleep well the night before because of those damn insects and my back and bottoms were all painful because of the hard surface of the bed...
Then we went to Banjarasri Village (the main village in Boro) by car - the exact place for final gathering/assembly was in front of the St. Theresia Church. We were supposed to depart at 7 AM, but due to people's laziness, getting up late, and blablabla... (it so happened that a boy in my class found getting up late at 7 AM!) so we left in about an hour later, at 8 AM. (In Indonesia, we usually called it ngaret or telat - the common problem with people here which never cease to stop, I guess).
Our first destination was Candi Prambanan, which located at the South of Yogya. This was also the point where we met with the IPA/Science students. We were there for about two hours or so, just for a matter of recreation, and then we had lunch altogether in a restaurant at about 12 AM... better move on to the "afternoon" part.
AFTERNOON to EVENING
After lunch, we went to Malioboro (for those of you who might not know - it is a famous place for shopping in Yogya), and we arrived there in about 45 minutes later. We had about two hours' time to do shopping (well actually it was half an hours' time, from 2 PM to 3.30 PM, but it kind of extended... ngaret would be the right word). I wasn't in the mood for shopping, so I just accompanied my friend who wanted to buy some t-shirts. FYI, the street, I mean the sidewalk of Malioboro is full of people who sell fake Dagadu Djokdja's (it is a famous t-shirt brand in Yogya) - for about Rp 12.500,- price for each (the fixed price). We left from Malioboro at about 4 PM, and we headed to North, went back to Jakarta via Semarang.
NIGHT
Alright, this is kinda sucks me out, because we had dinner SO late at night... We ended up arriving at Kendal (the restaurant was located at that city) at about 9.30 PM... You can imagine how bad my stomach condition was at that time (gastric problem please, everyone)... I just couldn't stand late eating time. I had to eat a tablet of Mylanta to neutralize the pain in my stomach... and of course some cajuput oil (read: minyak kayu putih), always my savior in moments like this...
And then it was a long-long journey again to Jakarta... and we arrived safely at our lovely school Don Bosco 2 on the next day (Saturday - consider this as the fifth day), at about 8 AM. I couldn't sleep well at the bus, so I was grateful to be at my lovely home sweet home again... and I felt like having a few hours' of nice sleeping time on my lovely bed after taking a bath, of course - I felt so tired and sleepy at the same time.
