Hello Everyone, YES I Know, It's been Six Months since my last Post in this Community and in this Platform. I've been trying to pursue other Hobby for the last Six Months, Hopefully I will Have Consistent comeback to This Platform and share my Travel story and Photos.

Last Week I have travel to One Of The City In Java Island Indonesia. City That still Rule by A Sultanate, This City Is Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta Is A kingdom that once Rules Java before Integrated as Part Of Indonesia. The Sultan Hamengku buwono X still rule as A King and Also as A governor Of DI Yogyakarta.

First Thing I've Seen In Yogyakarta Is A Candi, A Hindus Temple..Before Yogyakarta become A Moeslim Kingdom, Hinduism and Buddhism is a Majority Religion In Old Mataram Kingdom The Predecessor Name Of Yogyakarta Sultanate. This is why There are so Many Candi In Yogyakarta. One of This is Prambanan Temple

Luckily In Prambanan Temple there are Cultural Dance Show that tell story about Ramayana, The Story of Hinduism that Craft as Relief In Prambanan Temple. I don't know what Difference between Ramayana from The Relief of Prambanan and Ramayana story from Hinduism India but at least I really enjoy the 2 hours story telling.

The Others Famous Tourist Attractions in Yogyakarta Is Merapi and Merbabu. Merapi is a Volcanic Mountain in Yogyakarta, Known as The most Active Volcano In Java, and one the Deadliest through the history. This Mountain Became unseparable Part Of Yogyakarta Culture because There are still ceremonies held by Keraton (Sultanate Palace) To "calm Down" This Massive Volcanic. The other Mountain is Merbabu the Sleep Or already death Volcano. Both of them create something like "Yin and Yang" landscape and Becoming Part of Yogyakarta.

Day 2

We travel to Gamplong Studio. This place is a Mini Studio for Movie Set. This place is not as Fancy as Universal or Disney Studio. But i really like the Vibes Of Old Town.

Each place in this mini Studio, represent the Complicated movie Production Set. This Mini Studio first build as movie Set for a movie Called : Sultan Agung The Untold, and Bumi Manusia From one of the famous Director in Indonesia Hanung Bramantyo.

As Tourist Attraction this place has Everything to be on your list, there are so many place for you to take a good Selfie. And The Price for Entry is really Cheap. Just for 50K Rupiah or 2,5 Euro you can experience all the attraction here.

For me, the most interesting thing about this studio is its collection of vintage cars. They all appear well-maintained physically, although I doubt these cars are still functional.
