THE NIGHT LIFE OF JOGJAKARTA INDONESIA

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

Photos first, then videos at the end of the posts.. Enjoy!! :D

Before I start compiling the photos and starts writing about the trip I had to Jogjakarta few weeks back, I would like to show you the night life of Jogjakarta that I’ve recorded down with my mobile, Nokia N70 Music Edition. I think it gives me good results.

Hope you enjoy the photos and videos from Nokia N70

Taking a trishaw ride is a must in Indonesia. This is called the taxi or cab in Indonesia. It’s quite relaxing when you take a ride at night where you can enjoy the scenery and the night life of Jogjakarta along the street.

While we were riding with the trishaw, I start doing camwhores. I snap this photo on the trishaw, but standing up instead of sitting down. It’s quite dangerous though, as the trishaw was shaking shaking while the rider was riding it.

It’s quite fun. They charge around 15,000 – 20,000 per person, convert to MYR is around RM5-RM8 per person, and per ride. It’s not too bad.

Myself and Brasco, my colleague we took the trishaw for 2 nights because we thought it’s quite fun and enjoy!

Then, we saw a group of street group performers performing some classical music and rock and roll at the street. They can play well with the guitars and the big violin, I think it’s called the cello.

That’s the night life of Jogjakarta for the young people and even the older ones. They will gather around and sing songs, dancing and enjoy together. I think you can’t find it in Malaysia. The relationship they had with each other, and the tourists are so close.

They even dance with the tourist, while one of the tourist try to play the percussion with rock n roll song. Cool… check out the video down there.

Street Performance in Yogyakarta

Street Performance in Jogjakarta, Indonesia from Gabriel Lai on Vimeo.

While I’m working out for more posts and photos, I would like to show off to all of you guys the street performance in Yogyakarta Indonesia.

I went to Yogyakarta couple of weeks back. We went for breakfast at a restaurant, and there goes a group of street performers doing their singing just right beside me.

They have sang the second time of the song I videoed. My friend gave them some tips and we requested this song back. Without waiting, I video the song and the song that came out from their mouths are superb and it’s really speaking the lyrics out from their heart.

This is a song for young generation from the older people in Indonesia.
