Third Trip to Yogyakarta by Express Train

A Wisdom Park (Taman Kearifan) within Gadjah Mada University (Bagus Krishnayana, 2019-05-02)

Preface

I love flying by aircraft. But I wanna go around by public transport such as express train. Why? Because aircraft is too boring for me, and also it's too expensive to go around it, especially Yogyakarta. So, when I had appointment in Yogyakarta at Labour Day ago (May 1st to 3rd), most recently, a study excursion at Gadjah Mada University to commemorate a National Education Day every May 2nd, I used types of public transportation such as express train, buses, and ro-ro ferry, and taxis.

May 1st, Departure

At midnight, May 1st, I went to my college by car. Because Bali has no railway system, I took a bus from my college at Denpasar to Gilimanuk Harbour with my friends. Then, I disembarked from bus, I walked through a ticket booth which must pay with prepaid IC card (such as e-money, flazz, and etc.) at the harbour. I walked to take a ro-ro ferry to cross the Bali Strait to the island of Java. The destination was Ketapang Harbour at Banyuwangi Regency, East Java Province. This harbour is adjacent next to a train station, the southeasternmost in Asia, the Banyuwangi Baru Station (New Banyuwangi Station).

I walked from the harbour to a train station. I checked in my ticket and so as my friends to do so. Then, at 6.30 in the morning at local time (UTC +7), I and my friends were onboard the train and departed. I took a train named "KA Sritanjung" from Banyuwangi to Yogyakarta-Lempuyangan with stops at several stations such as Karangasem, Rogojampi, Temuguruh, Kalisetail, Kalisat, Probolinggo, Pasuruan, Bangil, Sidoarjo, Wonokromo, Surabaya-Gubeng, Mojokerto, Kertosono, Nganjuk, Caruban, Madiun, Barat, Paron, Walikukun, Sragen, Solo (Jebres or Balapan or Purwosari?), Klaten, and finally Yogyakarta Lempuyangan (I didn't remembered any several stations that I passed or stopped). In the afternoon, I ate nasi goreng as my lunch during the trip, and in the evening, I ate nasi krengsengan daging as my dinner in a dining car. During the trip by train, I often took a picture of any landscapes of the island, such as mountains, train stations, roads, rice paddies, and also an enormous mud reservoir. I spotted an archaeological object too, a Candi Gunung Gangsir that adjacent to the rail line at Bangil, Pasuruan. And at about 19.25 in the evening, The train arrived at Yogyakarta-Lempuyangan Station. Then, I and my friends took a taxi to the hotel at Seturan Street, Caturtunggal, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta SR. I and my friends were at the hotel and sleep.

May 2nd, Excursion during Commemoration of National Education Day

The next morning, I and my friends took a taxi to Gadjah Mada University to attend a study excursion. This is my first glance as a visitor at that university. A vast, with several faculties, and had a most integrated library in that university. I visited Faculty of Humanities instead of Cultural Studies and Media for study excursion (It's because we are postgraduate students, a Cultural Studies within a faculty in Udayana University). After the excursion, I and my friends visited a library. I'm astonished by a well managed, most integrated, and a very complete collection of books, thesis, dissertation, and etc. In the end, I and my friends returned to the hotel and went anywhere at Yogyakarta City.

May 3rd, Scrambled to Return to Bali

The next day, I and my several friends returned on their own. Some returned by train or remained in Yogyakarta until sunday. I returned with some friends to Bali overnight by bus, an "elephant of Temanggung" (Safari Dharma Raya - OBL).

Okay, that's the end of my journey with my friends at Cultural Studies of Udayana University. This is my best experience of my life, because riding a train makes me feel happy and exhilarating. Someday, I will return to Yogyakarta in the future.

Matur suksma. Ngiring cingakin blog tiyang.

More Luck at D'JaFU 7th 幸運な祭り

One of performances at D'JaFU 7th (own documentation, November 2018)

D'JaFU (acronym of The Japan Festival of Udayana) is an annual event of Japanese festival that presented by students of Japanese Literature Department (Nibunkaseikai), Faculty of Humanities of Udayana University. The event held for the first time at RRI Radio Station Denpasar in 2012. Then in 2013 onwards, the event held at Taman Budaya Kertalangu near Tohpati, Denpasar. 

This year is a very special year to hold D'JaFU. It's 7th year of this event and also to commemorate 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Japan and Indonesia. The main theme of D'JaFU 7th is 幸運な祭り (Kouun na Matsuri) which means "Festival of Luck". So, the thing about the main theme is "create your moment, find your luck".

This is my 6th visit to D'JaFU, the first one is in 2013 (D'JaFU 2nd), where I met my Japanese Literature friends for the first time besides from my student orientation group (some from Japanese Literature) when I met again there. In that time, it's unfamiliar to me and shocked, because I saw nearly everyone wearing costume from many anime characters, such as Naruto, Sasuke, Ruffy, and etc. They called it, cosplay. And then, It's usual for me.

There's also many booths, such as Yukata booth and Obake booth. Yukata (浴衣) booth is a place where visitors can wear Japanese outfit, Yukata. In fact, Yukata was made of cotton for summer season only and suitable for tropical regions like Indonesia. Kimono was made of silk, so it's suitable in a cold region with four seasons like Japan. In 2017, not just Yukatas to be tried, but also other outfits and additional props (example below). Obake (おばけ) booth is a place for thrill seekers, where the place fill with "ghosts".
 

Me at Yukata booth. Well look alike "Beat Takeshi", isn't it? (own documentation, November 2017)

I've tried both of them, but not both in one event. I've tried wearing Yukata in 2013, 2015, and 2017. And entering Obake in 2014 and 2018. The other booths are merchandises and foods and beverages. Recently, I ate one of my favourite food, especially Katsu, a Japanese chicken cutlet in one complete pack fill with rice and salad.

Yosakoi and Taiko performance at D'JaFU 7th (own documentation, November 2018)

In an evening, there are very spectacular performances, such as Aikido, Taiko, Shooting Stars, Yosakoi, and different guest stars every year, especially Hiroaki Kato in 2016. Last but not least, the ultimate ever, that makes me very happy and ever go back to D'JaFU, is Hanabi! Hanabi, the fireworks show that popular in summer, and it's a sign that the festival wrapped up in the night.

嬉しかった！！

One that makes me feel not lonely is my older sister, always came there in an evening. She came to D'JaFU in 2013, 2014, and 2016. But in 2018, I felt lonely again, because my sister had been moved to Jakarta in mid-2018. I hope we can do together again when in Bali or in Jakarta (especially Blok M and/or C3 AFA at Kemayoran).

So, in 2019 should I go to D'JaFU again? Let's find out later!

さようなら！

Part I: Historical, Recreational and Pilgrimage Trip to Jakarta and Bogor

Selamat Datang Monument at Central Jakarta (own documentation, April 2018).

Prior this trip, I went to the airport that very pitch black morning before sunrise. It was 4 AM. I met my friend who graduated from Japanese Literature, worked at Batik Air (and I said "have a nice work and goodbye!"). My flight was a Citilink Airbus A320 equiped with "sharklets" from Bali (DPS) to the airport which was something new for us, yeah... Halim Perdanakusuma Airport (HLP) that located inside the City of Jakarta. The time had moved 1 hour backward.
Jakarta is a capital of the Republic of Indonesia. It consisted 5 administrative cities and 1 administrative regency. Surrounded by Depok (West Java), South Tangerang (Banten), Tangerang (Banten), Bekasi (West Java), Bogor and its regency (West Java), Jakarta is a largest metropolitan around Indonesia, also the one of largest in the world. It called "Jabodetabek".

Airbus A320 "Sharklet" at Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali (own documentation, April 2018)

The flight lasted approximately one and half hour (1h30min). For me, this was a first time I went to Halim. I usually landed at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport for many times (early 2000s, 2007, 2008, 2011, and 2012). But Halim is something new to me. From the information that I read, Halim opened for passenger flights recently to ease congestion at Soekarno-Hatta Airport.

Me at Halim Perdanakusuma Airport, Jakarta SCR (own documentation, April 2018)

I'd arrived at Halim, then I took a tourist bus for TMII (Taman Mini Indonesia Indah). The tour guide explained that the Halim Perdanakusama Airport is an airport with much history, dated from early 1900s as an airstrip, as well as much military operations during New Order Era. During that trip, I was shocked by the development of Jakarta, such as transportation and infrastructure development. I saw very tall under-constructed LRT lines and also double-decker buses. The developments still underway to ease congestion at the city, also to change their habits for commuting.
When I arrived TMII, I took a cable car round trip, to see a mini-Indonesia from above. "Hey! There's a Bali island! Beautiful isn't it?!". 7 years ago, I took the aeromovel at that same location to go around TMII. TMII Consisted 33 provincial pavillions (excluding the North Kalimantan soon to be opened), 14 museums, Technological Centre, 10 parks, and several religious buildings of 6 recognised religions.

The cable car system at TMII (own documentation, April 2018)

After that, I had a breakfast there because it's too early to take lunch. Well, it's a very long day to live there. To tackle this, I walked around TMII area and I met numbers of street cats. Cats in TMII was very friendly than street cats in Bali, they just escape when I encountered them. But in Jakarta, they didn't escape at all, they want to be petted.
After that, it's a lunch time. I went back to the bus and went to somewhere. I've lunch in a building with Betawi Architecture. After I have lunch, I went to the castle, theres much art-related relics especially wayangs and gamelans. 

The castle at TMII (own documentation, April 2018)

I left TMII for city tour at Central Jakarta, especially Selamat Datang monument in a so called "Bundaran HI" (pictured far above), because it is adjacent to the Hotel Indonesia (now Kempinski and Grand Indonesia). I took a lot of pictures, especially high rise buildings, roads, as well as types of transportation such as Transjakarta buses, three-wheeled Bajaj, low buses, double-decker buses, mikrolets, and etc. I saw Monas from distance, flowing thru streets of Central Jakarta, until stopped at ITC Mangga Dua for shopping (but not that much). It reminds me at many large markets around Bali, maybe in the middle between market and shopping mall.

Double decker bus at Central Jakarta (own documentation, April 2018)

Then, I checked in at one of accomodation at Mangga Dua Square to take a rest until dinner.
So, I wrapped up this trip. I will explain about the next day recreational and pilgrimage trip in another episode.
See you next episode...

Trip to Surabaya and Sidoarjo

Surabaya

The Downtown of Surabaya (source: own documentation, 2017)

Surabaya is a capital city of East Java Province, and the second largest city after the capital city of Indonesia, Jakarta. It is included as a metropolitan area of Gerbangkertosusila. Gerbangkertosusila is an acronym consists all 5 regencies and 2 cities such as Gresik, Bangkalan, Mojokerto (both are regency and city), Surabaya itself, Sidoarjo, and Lamongan.

Located at the northern coast of East Java province near Madura island, Surabaya has one of largest maritime hub, also it has a large naval base too. Surabaya is served by Juanda International Airport in the neighboring regency of Sidoarjo, and only approximately 40 minutes from Bali. It has many train stations such as Surabaya-Gubeng, Surabaya-Pasar Turi, Wonokromo, etc. It has a most notable mega-bridge of Indonesia, Suramadu Bridge, connecting Surabaya and the island of Madura.

Juanda International Airport Terminal 2 south of Rwy 10/28 (source: own documentation, 2017)

When I first time went to Surabaya, the city was in development until now, such as toll roads, airport, bridges, and other infrastructural development. In 2006, the toll road connecting Surabaya and Gempol (Pasuruan Regency) was inundated by a mud volcano in Porong. Making the Porong section of the toll road closed. So, the government built an arterial road to replace the severed toll road and eventually, a toll road was built from Gempol to Kejapanan, and later the construction of new toll road is still underway. In that time before 2006, I went to Surabaya by a car with my family. After that, I took a plane to Surabaya until now. My last visit to Surabaya was in September 2017 by plane.

Surabaya has many histories from its foundings, the vast developments, to the battle against the colonial governments. These faithful events can be seen in these monuments and old buildings such as Heroes Monument (Tugu Pahlawan), Sharp Bamboo Monument (Tugu Bambu Runcing), Hotel Majapahit (which the most prominent event took here), Police Station (now a museum), East Java Governor Office, Darmo Hospital (designed by C. Citroen), Zangrandi Ice Cream House, KRI Pasoepati, etc.

Zangrandi Ice Cream House (source: own documentation, 2017)

My favorite thing about the city is a culinary things. Surabaya has much of delicious cuisine, such as Rawon (which is my favorite cuisine and the most renowned food in East Java), Soto Ayam, Iga Penyet, Empal Penyet, Lontong Balap, Pecel, Kupang, many varieties of Eel, etc. Also, it has much varieties of desserts. Such as Dureng (durian ice cream in bread), Macedonia, Tutti Frutti, etc. My favorite snack is an Almond Crispy which has many flavors, such as cheese, chocolate, mocca, and matcha green tea.

Sidoarjo

Sidoarjo Monument (source: own documentation, 2017)

Sidoarjo is a regency located at the south of the capital city of East Java, Surabaya. It also included as a metropolitan area of Gerbangkertosusila. Sidoarjo has a large bus terminal called Purabaya which located at Bungurasih, Waru, Sidoarjo. It has an international airport that I mentioned earlier in this article. It also connected by a toll road from Surabaya and Gempol. It has a large mud volcano located at Porong that inundated several villages and a closed the toll road.

Sidoarjo is a powerhouse of making high quality leather bags and suitcases. This type of industry are located in Tanggulangin and surrounding areas. One of known place is INTAKO (Bag and Suitcase Industry).

Traffic Sign consists Cultural Objects in Sidoarjo (source: own documentation, 2017)

Sidoarjo has much of history too. It can be seen by many ancient buildings which predominantly from the Majapahit Era, such as Candi Pari, Candi Sumur, Candi Tawangalun, etc.
In Sidoarjo, there are much of souvenir shops, mainly about snacks that can be bought as a souvenirs for family, friends, etc. One of the most favorable place to buy snacks is in Tanjung. It has many varieties of snack such as terung, teripang, dried fruits, candies, bandeng asep (smoked milkfish), food condiments, shrimps, etc.

So, let's travel when have good time!

Situs-situs Arkeologi Klasik di Sepanjang Jalan Nasional Rute 15

 

Jalan Nasional Rute 15 merupakan suatu jalan raya tingkat nasional dengan panjang 325 km yang menghubungkan antara Kota Surabaya, Provinsi Jawa Timur dengan Kota Yogyakarta, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Jalan raya ini meliputi kota-kota di Jawa Timur, Jawa Tengah, dan D.I. Yogyakarta. Antara lain, Surabaya, Krian, Mojokerto, Jombang, Nganjuk, Caruban, Ngawi, Sragen, Surakarta, Klaten, dan Yogyakarta.

Jalan ini memiliki potensi perekonomian dan perindustrian yang dampaknya signifikan, karena jalan Surabaya-Jogja ini banyak dilalui truk barang, bus pariwisata, bus AKAP, dan kendaraan pribadi. Jalan ini disejajarkan dengan jalur kereta api yang membentang dari Surabaya sampai Jogja. Selain transportasi darat, juga terdapat transportasi udara, misalnya Bandara Adi Sutjipto terletak di Desa Maguwoharjo, Sleman, Jogja. Di sepanjang jalan ini pula banyak didirikan pabrik-pabrik dan dikelilingi oleh ladang-ladang pertanian. Dari segi ekonomi kreatif, di setiap kilometer terdapat tempat peristirahatan bagi pengendara yang lelah saat perjalanan panjang.

Sepanjang jalan ini pula banyak terdapat potensi sumber daya arkeologi, yakni di Surabaya, Trowulan (Mojokerto), Jombang, Trinil (Ngawi), Sangiran (Sragen), Surakarta, Klaten (khususnya kawasan cagar budaya Prambanan), dan Yogyakarta.

Kunjungan ke Yogyakarta dan Sekitarnya dalam rangka Long Weekend Bulan Mei

This article uses Indonesian language.
 

Lambang resmi Jogja Istimewa

Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta merupakan sebuah daerah istimewa setingkat provinsi di Indonesia yang berpusat di Kota Yogyakarta. Pembentukan Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta ini merupakan peleburan Negara Kesultanan Yogyakarta dan Negara Kadipaten Pakualaman. Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta terdiri dari 4 kabupaten dan 1 kotamadya, diantaranya Kabupaten Sleman, Kabupaten Gunungkidul, Kabupaten Bantul, Kabupaten Kulonprogo, dan Kotamadya Yogyakarta.

Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta berada kurang lebih 600 km dari sebelah barat Provinsi Bali, yang dapat ditempuh lewat jalur darat kira-kira 20 jam tergantung kondisi lalu-lintas dan kondisi penyeberangan Selat Bali pada waktu itu.

Peta Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Sumber: Google

Penyeberangan Selat Bali

Pada waktu long weekend yang terjadi pada hari Kamis sampai dengan Minggu 5 Mei sampai 8 Mei 2016, bisa menempuh waktu 2 jam lebih lama dari sebelumnya karena kondisi kemacetan yang terjadi di dekat Klaten dan di dekat Bandara Adi Sutjipto. Serta kondisi penyeberangan Selat Bali yang salah satu dermaganya pernah mengalami kerusakan, sehingga untuk penyeberangan ditempuh 2 jam.

Dari segi kebudayaan, DIY banyak memiliki berbagai potensi budaya, baik tangible (fisik) yang meliputi seperti halnya kawasan cagar budaya dan benda cagar budaya maupun intangible (non-fisik) yang meliputi kesenian dan perilaku sosial masyarakat yang ada di DIY. Berikut merupakan kinjungan-kunjungan saya ke tempat yang ditetapkan sebagai cagar budaya:

1. Museum Kareta Keraton; Sebuah museum yang berada di sebelah barat Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat, merupakan tempat penyimpanan kereta kencana yang digunakan oleh Sultan Hamengkubuwono. Koleksi-koleksi yang terdapat pada Museum Kareta Keraton antara lain: Kareta Kyai Garuda Yeksa, Kareta Kyai Manik Retno, Kareta Roto Pralaya, dan lain-lain.
2. Istana Air Taman Sari; Suatu kompleks istana yang dibangun pada tahun 1758 atas prakarsa Pangeran Mangkubumi yang kemudian bergelar Sultan hamengkubuwono I dan atas kerjasama dengan bangsa Portugis. Kompleks istana ini memiliki perpaduan gaya arsitektur Hindu-Buddha, Eropa, dan khususnya ada unsur kearifan lokal. Tempat ini dahulunya digunakan sebagai tempat permandian.
3. Sumur Gumuling; Suatu bagian dari kompleks istana. Tempat ini dulunya difungsikan sebagai masjid.
   
4. Museum Siti Hinggil dan Keraton Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat; Suatu tempat kediaman Sultan Hamengkubuwono. Terdapat relief yang berceritakan tentang perjuangan Pangeran Mangkubumi.
5. Candi Borobudur; Suatu bangunan cagar budaya yang terletak di Kabupaten Magelang, Jawa Tengah. Candi ini dibangun pada zaman Dinasti Sailendra yang merupakan dinasti bercorak Buddha Kerajaan Mataram Kuno. Dari segi arkeologi publik masih banyak pengunjung-pengunjung yang tidak tertib dalam artian melanggar peraturan yang ditetapkan oleh Balai Konservasi Borobudur, seperti larangan membawa botol plastik kawasan Candi yang mengakibatkan pengunjung membuang sampah sembarangan. Selain itu banyak yang duduk-duduk di pinggiran stupa. Yang menarik pada Candi Borobudur ini adalah pada tingkatan-tingkatan Candi yaitu Kamadhatu, Rupadhatu, dan Arupadhatu. Pada bagian Arupadhatu terdapat Stupa yang di dalamnya kosong, yang seharusnya terdapat arca Buddha. Sesuai tingkatannya ruang di dalam Stupa utama ini memang kosong karena Arupadhatu merupakan tingkatan di mana kita sudah tidak berwujud lagi. Candi ini juga ditetapkan sebagai warisan dunia oleh UNESCO pada tahun 1991.
6. Candi Prambanan; Suatu bangunan cagar budaya yang terletak di perbatasan Yogyakarta-Jawa Tengah, tepatnya di kecamatan Prambanan, Kabupaten Klaten, Jawa Tengah. Candi ini dibangun pada zaman Dinasti Sanjaya yang merupakan dinasti bercorak Hindu Kerajaan Mataram Kuno. Candi Prambanan terdiri dari 3 candi utama dan puluhan candi perwara lainnya. Ketiga candi tersebut juga disebut Candi Tri Murti, karena terdapat Arca Dewa Siwa yang terletak di tengah, Arca Dewa Wisnu di utara, dan Arca Dewa Brahma di selatan. Secara ikonografis masing-masing Arca Tri Murti ini memiliki atribut tersendiri, dari Dewa Wisnu yang salah satu tangannya memegang Cakra, Dewa Brahma yang berkepala empat, dan Dewa Siwa yang memiliki tangan empat. Selain ketiga Arca itu terdapat Arca Dewi Durga yang merupakan sakti dari Dewa Siwa dalam wujud Ugra (Marah) yang ditempatkan di sisi utara Candi Siwa.



Museum Kareta Keraton

7. Situs Ratu Baka; Suatu situs cagar budaya yang terletak tidak jauh dari Candi Prambanan. Situs ini diperkirakan dibangun pada zaman Dinasti Sailendra atau Kerajaan Medang Kemulan. Berbeda dari situs-situs zaman kerajaan Hindu-Buddha yang pada umumnya bersifat sakral, Situs Ratu Baka ini bersifat profan. Letaknya di atas bukit, ini mengisyaratkan bahwa situs ini digunakan sebagai tempat berlindung dari musuh. Ini berbeda dari situs pada umumnya yang ditempatkan di dataran landai.
