In this video we are going to explore malioboro street in Yogyakarta if you
saw my last video we took a train across Java from Bandung to arrive here in Yogja
today will be our very first impressions of the cultural capital of the island of
java and whilst many will pass through here I'm so glad we came to the city itself in
Yogja we found a welcoming vibrant City full of markets fresh treats and very
friendly locals I then learned some Bahasa Indonesian with some talented chefs sedap
take some photos with welcoming locals and even try our hand at the local tradition of
walking blindfolded between the mythical twin Banyan trees in the alon alon maybe
this is the friendliest town in Indonesia let's find out so welcome back or welcome if you're
new here to my channel my name is Josie we are walking now through the main street of
Yogjakarta this is actually the train line that we came in on my last video so oh sorry
family of five on that bike oh Melia borrow Street perfect well there's bikes everywhere
there's a lot of life going on right now in this street which is awesome um yes you
know me I need a coffee let's go I don't smoke but she does oh thank you we got fun in games
I got an iced Americano and we have a iced lychee tea and there's a train literally
going behind us that is so cool this is a Vibe I love it here it's just an Old Carriage yeah
okay so we are walking down at this Main Street we just finished with the coffee
um it rained for a little while so we just waited for it to pass but now we're walking down here
and it is vibrant so we're getting more into the tourist part of the street as you can see there
is a Dunkin Donuts there there's like a Char time um like more like International sort of Brands I'm
not American so Dunkin Donuts isn't a thing for me but um it might be for most people who come here
um and we have seen it all around southeast Asia wherever we've sort of traveled so so it looks
like a chance down over there or something a lot like the um arcs that we see leading into those in
every place that we've been no thank you there's some saute that's cool we might actually stop and
get some there's there's I can see like five down this way like in the same spots just walking down
the street so if you're hungry you can stop and get a little snack yeah I'm not sure what you're
saying but she sounds important so let's have a look around here you've got like closed shots
Australia my brother living in Melbourne no way
my brother Indonesian in Melbourne really really that's cool uh we've
been here for a month Jakarta uh we're leaving tomorrow yeah
yeah always happy
oh yeah we're just walking down the street exhibition I don't like that thank you have a good
day that's a scam it's a big scam and he's he's a nice guy he's probably a nice fella and he's been
doing this whole life and maybe he doesn't think it's a scam but trying to take you to
something that's not good by convincing you it's good and then you have to pay money to go there
you know either his truck or sometimes I banter with them sometimes I say I'm not interested
um but yeah just so you're aware all very friendly very good English actually very
impressed hi hi I don't want any of them unfortunately hi it's pretty busy in here
um there's oh there's so many they look down there look down there
there's a lot of different stalls lots of shirts lots of dresses oh thank you we're gonna head
left we're gonna go down this way oh it's very bright out here and try and find the main street
again and then some food oh yeah orange yeah and what's up nice tea and orange juice yeah how much

yeah so I've gotten probably 10 probably 10 photos today I'm not sure whether I don't know
I'm not sure why thank you nice to meet you nice to meet you so I'm not sure why those photos but
tell me in the comments below if you know why but let's walk down this street we were actually going
to try actually I was really looking forward to going to this underground mosque because it looks
absolutely stunning and I was like really excited to go to that we're all heading on the way there
now but we did look it up and it's um apparently permanently closed so that's really like a little
bit disappointing because it looks so pretty why is everyone getting photos Okay so we just came
across this little Courtyard with some food it says nasty boring and stuff like that and I love
that it's probably one of my favorite Indonesian dishes um let me know in the comments below what
your favorite dish is but mine's probably nasty Goring so let's have a look here there yeah yeah

that word where it's normal just plain biasa I think it's just biasa
inak that means I think delicious bugles whatever I love it there's a little couple
little green bits in here but there's just like just a bunch of noodles and I literally this is
what I eat sometimes at home I just buy like a noodle packet and eat it like this so this is
right at my we're out of my alley I am loving Indonesia like I had no idea what to expect I
think I've said this a few times since being here but I had no idea what to expect I think
as an Australian you're only kind of really hear of Bali and I knew from the start I didn't want
to just go to Bali I wanted to explore more of Indonesia and I'm so glad I did how how much
it's 20 okay this is 50. oh for you okay yeah yeah Sarah McCarthy sorry I tried to
speak it didn't work thank you Terry McCarthy I looked it up how to say it and I obviously
didn't say it right I tried to say for you in like Indonesian it didn't really work for me
but I don't think I said I think I said something else so my bad I tried so walking down this street
and it's really pretty I think it's a little bit like bumpy but you've got a massive flag
with like the big Sunset behind it the sun's sort of coming down to set at the moment
um and this street is just so cool I called the Indonesia called Gang what's that like
Ally Lane oh you might read them as gang if you're a Westerner oh I would have said gang
nam's Lane oh cool this is cool we'll go like this
oh
it's a long Walker playing to grab or something um so we're still walking it's taking quite a while I
don't have my watch on but maybe about what 30 minutes so far or something yeah so let's see
if we're almost there I'm loving it I love this other stuff before I met Josie I would
travel solo quite a lot this reminds me funnily enough a lot of Myanmar actually I went to me
I'm a similar sort of experience I had there that's a cool one it's bad yeah oh it's cool
it's singing yeah
where do you come from Australia Australia yeah yeah somewhere
over there long way thank you Toma Cassie like look how cool
this is cool I know it's probably 10 minutes of me just saying this place is cool but look at this
amazing I have no idea where we are I think that's the best part
what is that saying not all those who wander are lost what's here
the streets are so narrow you literally have to move because
there's a bike coming but this is such a little tiny Street there's lots of birds
here can someone tell me why there's a lot of birds in cages more birds see
bad bad Pikachu
it's right there it's right in front of me yes it's probably like an hour of walking I'm sweating
saw some good things along the way what's that petrol in bottles
that's cool okay so I've seen the like market with the like trees in front of me right here
in there so this guy isn't doing very well to be honest
um he's going the complete opposite direction um oh oh now he's lost can you see yeah
oh he's given up he's given up he's locked he didn't make it okay so we're gonna tell
you what this like tradition means it's going to go through there yeah
oh
you have to walk from down there blindfolded and make it through to those trees and if you
can do that it means like you have good luck like it's like good luck and the key is don't get lost
don't you don't do that all right let's go have a trip all righty
where am I hands up in front of you what walk forward hands up why walk forward you know
hands out
okay yeah take it off now you can't get you're lost now put it in one run no you were so close
I honestly thought I had that in the bag I literally thought
I was gonna make it let's try it again
I'm already losing
look over here you came out like here he did it
so we're getting to head into this Market
just have a look down here this looks cool maybe we're just gonna call a drink yeah maybe we'll
see what's at the end of this that looks like a lot of things in there oh that's mac and cheese
there's mac and cheese and little like I love mac and cheese oh you got like Milos
hockey Milo what does Pocky mean little dim Sim things hi hi
um can I get the peach tea yes please turn my custody wait I didn't say that yet

yeah it tastes like the thing I bought I think Joe Jakarta is potentially like
in my top 10 cities that I've been to I'm going to
people really nice people everyone's been incredibly lovely I felt completely safe
here the whole time even like the guys that were trying to grift us a little bit were really nice
it was still nice and then and then you can just walk through this city and it's beautiful and
