Our two days in Yogya were good. On Tuesday evening, we went and saw a traditional Javanese ballet performance of Ramayana, a love story involving gods, bad guys, and a monkey kingdom whose subjects were dressed like Power Rangers.
On Wednesday we walked around the city, visited the sultan's palace, and went shopping for batik and leather puppets. The good stuff is expensive, so it is a good thing that our perfectly decent hotel (with a swimming pool) cost only $9 a night.
We're leaving Yogya on an afternoon flight to Medan via Jakarta. I'm ready for Sumatra, and am ready to see how the islands differ.
