Singapore Airlines has been always
ranked within 5th in high demand airlines
of the world among Japanese travelers.
I heard it is difficult to get a budget ticket
of its airline because of this reason, but
fortunately I got one.
Thanks to that, I realized my grand plan that I visited my friend at his
home in Jakarta, and then went to Morroco via Spain.
Since this airline provided high quality
service as a true to its reputation, I was
glad to board one six times on this trip.
Well, I might have felt so because there
was many sarong-clad stewardess.

I went to Prambanan (Hindu Temple)
and Borobudur (Buddhist Temple) from Adi
Sucipto airport by tour with a Japanese speaking
guide.
If you would like to go there by public transportation, you might get some
information previously.
Since Batik is traditional handicrafts of Yogyakarta and many package tour call at
Batik home industry, you might buy one if you like.
When you try to bargain, there is seldom
problem because some of staff can speak Japanese
as well as English, I guess.
But you may need to get ready for attack
of peddlers around of temples.
Anyway, when you buy something, needless
to say you should bargain.

Bali Hilton is luxury hotel and
in front of Nusa Dua Beach.
Of course visitors can book some package
tour and events at tour desk in the hotel.
Besides visitors can drink free cocktail
at patio in the evening (18:00-19:00).
It is the best if you are honeymooner.
But if young solitary traveler stay at this
hotel, he/she doesn't really belong there.
Hence, when you get your friend to arrange a lodging, you might get budget hotel near Kuta Beach taken.
Kecak can be booked at tour desk in the hotel.
Kecak, a name indicating the "chak-a-chak"
sounds, evolved from the male chorus of the
rituall Sanghyang trance ceremony.
The intention of any Sanghyang (trance) performance
is that the girl while in the state of trance
will be capable of hearing and telling the
wishes of Gods and ancestors.
At present Kecak is also performed with the
special story taken from the famous Ramayana
saga.
