Today I have a trip plan to Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta. To my wife parent's house. In my country it's usually called "MUDIK". At 07.30, Taxi that I have call pick me up my house and bring me to the bus agent at Dr. Cipto street.
The ticket I have got is 09.30. It's mean I have an hour for waiting the bus. But, it's no matter couse I was feel hungry. So with my wife I have looking up a place to eat and finding "soto".
09.30 the bus was arrived. In my mind at least 3 hours in the bus from Semarang to Jogja. But,....at 12.30 I looking outside the bus window,... Oh no... it still at Magelang!!! it just a half way to Jogja. Very crowded outside, the traffic was jammed.
Finally the driver want to turn the bus trough the alternative way. From Bondo to the Borobudur temple. But when the bus was a kilometer from borobudur temple, the bus jus stay, can't move any where. It, more jammed from the magelang street. The driver was give up. Just follow the jammed street, can not turn around. Around... around... and ... around. Just like travelling. It's remebering me when i was in elementary school, have study tour to Borobudur Temple. But, it is different, The bus trough the unusually way, trough many villages in magelang that I have been seen before. It's beautiful places. I think it's almost like some villages in BALI. The different is Bali has a lot of Pura, in Magelang we can find alot of Temple. bali with the Pura and Magelang with the Buddhist temple like Mendut Temple, and Borobudur Temple. I enjoying the jammed and the crowded. Finally at 14.00 we out of the jammed and finding Bondo again. Ha..ha...ha...... It's from Bondo to Bondo.
At 15.30 we arrive at Jogja.
An hour later i have find the answer why the traffic was jammed. It's Waisak day. And The President of Indonesia arriving at Borobudur. Uff.....
