In 2011, the city of my dreams called to me again, and once more I found myself in this strange and wonderful place. I added pictures about my adventures as the trip progressed (click little picture for big picture).

The garden at 1001 Malam hotel.	Another shot of the garden.
This was my hotel room...	...and this is the street my hotel was on.
Went to the palace and was overjoyed to see that the Bangsal Trajumas pavilion (which was destroyed in the 2006 earthquake) had been rebuilt.	The royal gamelan players at the Sultan's Palace.
Me, at the palace. I live for this.	A lady playing the biggest gongs.
Wayang golek (wooden puppets) at the palace. Taking pictures at the palace is difficult because of the backlight!	More puppets wait their turn.
Rama readies his magic weapon to destroy the evil Rahwana. From a wayang kulit (shadow puppet) performance at the Sonobudoyo museum.	A dancer at the palace.
Dinner at a lesehan (sidewalk restaurant): gurameh besar (big gurameh).	A passing musician serenades us with the Yogyakarta song. "Pulang ke kotamu..." (I'm coming back to your city).
Heat-sealing bags of spices with a candle, Beringharjo market.	Weighing spices for sale.
Dried fish at Beringharjo.	Here's something you won't see in America: an entire street decorated with banners advertising cigarettes.
