The Never Ending City

Another business trip to Yogyakarta with great team from the office! :)
Back when I was still in architecture school, I once overheard the terminology of slow city, or slow living, this was much related to the development of urban areas, not to forget both the fact urban growth and urban sprawl as well, which were couldn't be avoided here to occur. Nevertheless, Yogyakarta of Indonesia had been somehow discussed as an example of Slow City with its slow lifestyle. The term of slow living means living in a deliberate, unhurried, and simplified way that allows for spending your life on the things that are most important, while carefully eliminating or ignoring the things that ignore or move us away from personal eternal truths, I wish Jakarta could be as nice as this place.. Oh.. It's only in my imagination!

The event was held in a so-called famous restaurant in the town of Yogyakarta. Alhamdulillah everything went well. The seminar successfully got good respond from both our valued sponsors and enthusiast participants. As for me, the most important thing was that my presentation has been finally carried out.

These are some pictures from a little free time before the event was held and almost a half day before we flew back to Jakarta.
waiting in line for taxi with team members :D


Anyone interested in tasting Gudeg at Wijilan?

Playing with the seawave again with the girls at Kukup beach

Well finally after more than a week of not blogging, I'm back to say: Ramadhan Mubarak, everyone! I am so looking forward for it :) Please forgive all my mistakes prior to this holy month yaa! Hope we can get barokah for our fastings and ibadah. Amin.

Salam and Ramadan Kariim, Mustika!

sis, i love your name! and you know what? if you introduce yourself to anyone from my country, they'll love your name too! it means blueberry in my language! actually it's spelled mustikka, but the difference in the pronouncing is minor, so the word is still recognizeable, even if it's spelled with one k. actually this is how most foreigners spell and pronounce it when they start to study finnish :D

Mustika Sari Sayuti said...

@oldie goldie: Ramadan kariim to you and your family too Sis :)
