Last week, Y, a coworker and I headed to
Yogyakarta, (Jogja) for a 5 day trip. After a long 9 hour train ride, we got to our beautiful homestay (
Bamboo Bamboo) and planned out our stay.
The woman working at the front desk, Nur, was extremely friendly and helpful as we sorted out what we wanted to do in Jogja. She was kind enough to invite us to her village for her friend's wedding and to explore the countryside the following day. Nur assured us that, unlike in Western culture, it was totally fine to show up to the wedding uninvited by the bride and groom and to be wearing [very] casual clothes.

After the ceremony, we took a walk around the village then biked through the rice paddies.

DAY 2:
We left Bamboo Bamboo at 3:45 to get to Setumbu Hills for the sunrise. After that, we headed to Borobudur to see the ancient Buddhist temple.
