Silver Village

I'm a lazy type of person and don't forget to mention forgetful too. . . :)  Oh well, that's me . .
So I will just throw it in what I still can remember, and hopefully it wont end up like a dump . .

Here it goes, let's the stories begin :

          Long long ago, from a far far away ........... (Not that far and not that long ago )

Maybe just few days ? Not much people know that I'm going to Jogjakarta, Indonesia cause I did not mention to much people.
Well, early morning I woke up at 5:30am just to get ready such as bathe, last minute packing, take my Jojo along with me, find socks, and sat down on the sofa waiting for my parents.
After that, my sister's boyfriend drive us to the airport and drop us there. Due to the reason why aren't one of my brothers drop us? Maybe because they got work and college later or lazy.


Is a 2hours flight and we had Nasi Lemak on the plane. After we reached Jogjakarta, we collected our luggage and find our tour leader.
They have a really tiny airport compare to KLIA. Don't have a specific place to collect the luggage and all squish together after we passed the custom.
So, one of our people lost / can't find his luggage and got no  clothes to change on the net day. The tour leader had to bring him out to shop for his clothes and underwear . Haha

Once we get onto the bus, we head to the lunch place. And at the meantime, the local tourist warn us not to eat those food and drink at the road side, is not clean .
Other than that, we got to ask clearly whether the price is in Rupiah or in dollars.

Currently , Rupiah to RM is  1000rupiah = RM0.323

We reached our destination and wow ! Is a wonderful restaurant, beautiful and not what I had in mind.
So is really true, rich people are very rich and poor people are truly poor in Indonesia.

They have 3section for eating.

- One is the open air / room (the closest to the kitchcen)
- Second is the traditional (where you have to take off your shoes/slippers and there's no chair, so got to sit on he wooden floor )
- Third is in a room with television to enjoy ( the closest to the toilet / karma kecil )


For your addition knowledge : 

Karma Kecil = Toilet.
Percuma = Things that spoiled or can't be use.
Aqua = Mineral Water.


They have a mini pond which will make you look like a giant, 2 rooster in front of the entrance at both side each, and lots of small carp fish.






After we had our lunch, we went to a place called ''Silver Village'' where they produce silver and make those handcraft make out of silver rod / wire .
It was incredible watching them do it one by one, all doing their own part. 

I wont post so much about the silver village how they did it, but just let the picture show you.




On the right side bottom corner, that thing is only as big as a 1year old baby fist.

Just imagine how small and how difficult to finish up such a gorgeous little thing, just by using silver wire, a clipping tools and a pair of eyes.

For your infromation :
Out of 20people sitting there, there's only 3person who wore spectacles.
And all of them have only one to two small dim light bulb on top of them.







B M W motorcycle  ;)


















* The things in there was pretty and so does the price too. We having hard time counting how much it really cost and worth in Ringgit Malaysia cause it's just our first day. And we did not buy anything from the Silver Village . *




















After the Silver Village, we went to the village that make pots and vases out of clay.
Nothing much there just vase and more vase and plates. We concentrate avoiding our bags or handbags touches those fragile things .
But I did bought a handbag make out of .......... Of course not clay ! Is just clothe and animal skin ?
My sister took a video of me, and actually for my instagram. Unfortunately, I found out it cannot upload a video but it can record a video and post it up. 

We had a great time on the 1st half day.
