I took this images at Nov 3rd, near Ambarukmo hotel Jogjakarta. Several days before, that road have been constructed and ready. One day after accomplish, unfortunatelly a car fell into. Asphalt would not hold the car weight, so it drop a side of the car. The Police woman was there when i took thoose images to arrange the traffic.

Its a heavy rain the day before, and caused the landslide a bit at thoose part of the street. And at that day, the constructor tried to fix it as soon as possible, becouse it is the main traffic of Jogja-Solo. AB 1442 UA.

It's not me... how could that be.. That is the truck, they called it Tikus Darat, stands for Tim Informasi-Komunikasi untuk Kondisi Darurat. I saw it when a ride for Biking Disaster Respons. It was parked inside Vredenburg fort Jogja. Finally i knew this truck was used as a means to serve the purposes of information and communications during a natural disaster. I know when Merapi erupted and can access streaming radio communications monitoring Merapi. This vehicle was being used at that time. Facilities on this vehicle include the Internet and satellite radio communication. of vehicles is all the information at the time of the disaster was announced to all interested parties.

We're attending the Asean Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, we are the "sepeda tanggap bencana". Some of bicycle community was invited to this event.. Started from SMA 3 Yogyakarta, riding towards Tugu Jogja, to Malioboro and ended at Benteng Vredenburgh.

This was the Merapi Eruption Memorial. At Vredenburgh there are some of disaster handling simulation, such as tsunami, volcano, landslides, flood and the other disaster. Some of PUSDALOPS show their ability on disaster handling..

JJC 2011 really crowd this time. The performers are improving. They more theatrical. New concept of costume, forms, equipment, stage atraction, and many more. Some of the forms are; borobudur, piramyd, comodo, narashima, bees, and towers. Malioboro will become so sea of performance..

Yesterday, i went arround the city on a bus. I have to pay 3000IDR for once entrance at the bus shelter (they called it so). At first sight it was a strange thought of mine, because it was my first time on it. I dont know the how-to about that bus. Fortunatelly i was not alone, he show me the how-to. At the first shelter i was foreigner, or a new-personer acctually.. but after few stops, i feel like i am get used to.

Thoose three sleeping people was right infront of my seat.. i did nothing but captured. But then i thought, this was really comfort for them, or they just in a sleeping competition?? haha LOL.. the air conditioner was cool, so they feels like home.. sweet dream passanger.. may you get wake up at the time..

How do you enjoy your coffee?
Every morning i usualy make my own coffee. But today i woke up late, started with lunch. And skip my coffee time.

And now i have a coffee time at Vito Seturan. Its amaze me by coffee serving. They use a vietnam drip. A coffee filter.. They put coffee powder into it, and then pour hot water, so the filtered coffe flow into your cup.. They produce a light coffee. The taste? Depends on the powder of coffee.

I just talk about how they served it..

Located across thoose building, here i stand. Waiting for the bus that will pick me to Jogja. Here, Bajera down town nearby Police Station, for 9 years its always be my private terminal. They pick me here, they drop me at the same place. Bali-Jogja, for my journey..

The Hermes is outfitted with two cameras, the main one being the 2.0 megapixel CMOS with a white LED flash and round mirror. The camera has two focus setting, normal and macro. This camera can also be used to captured videos.

And the cons are... This camera brings bad performance in night or low available light.

We ride arround the city today. Although it's rainy early in the morning, but the sun shine bright after all. Its about 150 fixed gear crowded the street in Jogja. There're colourful bikes. I have my orange one..

Its started from Sudirman st, to Tugu Jogja, continued to Malioboro, and turn left at the cross to Yos Sudarso st, have lunch at Galeria and dismised..

We are all fixed gear..

 

When trying to build a bike to look like a fixie, I have come to the stage of installing the wheels measuring 27 and replace the transmission system into a single rate. My bike is initially normal mountain bike that uses a multi-speed transmission. And it turns out the chain can not be used for the single speed transmission. I thought I had bought the wrong sprocket.

Apparently there is a fundamental difference between the chain used on single speed with multi-speed chain. Chain single speed has a width of 1 / 8 "and multi-speed chain has a width of 3 / 32", this size difference, of course, led to my multi-speed chain  can not get attached to my new single speed.

Above, single speed chain. Figure below, multi-speed chain.

This the ending session of Jogja Java Carnival 2010. And this is a crowd night carnaval along Malioboro street. Very crowd.. Real crowd

This is day one, National Kite Challenge 2010. This annual event held by Culture & Tourism Board of Jogjakarta. There're many kind of kites. Some of them are in 3D shape, while others are 2D or traditional..

Traditional competition was fun. They put some mechanism to make the kite sing because of wind blow (i need a better vocabularies to explain this). And thats the challenge point.

Besides, there were Rokaku challenge, where between the kites will defeat each other.. And yu know how the winner decided..

Healthy drinks from Jogjakarta. Got it from Gudeg Hj. Rini Wijilan Jogjakarta.

What is Sarsaparilla? Sarsaparilla (Smilax regelii and other closely related species of Smilax) is a perennial trailing vine with prickly stems; it is native to tropical America and the West Indies. Its name (which is zarzaparrilla in Spanish) comes from the Spanish words zarza for "shrub" and parrilla for "little grape vine."

Originally derived from the dried roots of tropical smilax vines, this flavor is usually associated with a carbonated drink popular in the mid-1800s. The primary uses of sarsaparilla include the flavoring of beverages, and folk medicine.
