The third day at Semarang. We had gudeg for breakfast. That day was really hot. Even hotter than here in Bali. There was a milk seller pass by Ka Irena house. Me and Ka Ega bought chocolate milk. I drank it when we arrived at parking lot. It's really refreshing. I drove to Kota Lama or Kota Tua. The place is really close from Ka Irena house. I use sunglasses because it was hot. I should bring an umbrella, but forget to pick it.
We walk from the parking lot to the Kota Lama area. I saw lot of visitor came and taking picture around this area. Despite the hot weather, it's really nice to stroll at this area. I really like to walk around an unique place like here. I feels grateful I can visit this places with my friends. Kota Lama listed on tentative list Cultural World Heritage No. 6011.

Semarang belongs to the international trading port city network of Asian in the 17th, 18th, 19th centuries. A like with other international port cities: Penang, Vigan, and Batavia, Semarang embrace life style and architecture blend of Asian and Western. However, in contrast to those cities, Semarang shows distinctly it's strong connection to the earliest development of steam locomotive technology in South East Asia as a transportation mean to support it's trade.
We walked and encircle the Kota Lama. It's really interesting to see many old things here. We visited an art gallery. It's my first time went and enjoy an art gallery. Many beautiful painting was present there. I even saw two paintings from balinese artist. I think the painter is balinese because of his/her name. I forgot the painter name TT.TT The last places we see is Gereja Blenduk. We just see the church from the outside. We encircle the Church. It's still have christmas tree at the entrance.

Introduction Tteokbokki, also known as ddeokbokki, topokki (in Japan) or dukboki is a popular Korean snack food which is commonly purchased from street vendors or pojangmacha. Originally it was called tteok jjim (떡찜), and was a braised dish of sliced rice cake, meat, eggs and seasoning. History Tteokbokki is a traditional Korean street food which can be usually purchased from street vendors also called 'pojangmacha' in Korean. The history of tteokbokki brings us back to the late Joseon dynasty. There are many hypotheses and controversy about its real origin.

Introduction Changdeokgung Palace was the second royal villa built following the construction of Gyeokbukgung Palace in 1405. It was the principal palace for many of the Joseon kings and is the most well-preserved of the five remaining royal Joseon palace. The palace grounds are comprised of a public palace area, a royal family residence building, and the rear garden. Known as a place of rest for the kings, the rear garden boasts a gigantic tree that is over 300 years old, a small pond, and a pavilion. The palace gained in importance starting from the time of 9th king of Joseon, Seongjong, when a number of kings began using it as a place of residence. Unfortunately, the palace was burned down by angry citizens in 1592 when the royal family fled their abode during the Japanese Invasion of Korea. Thanks to Gwanghaegun, the palace was restored in 1611. Even today, it holds a number of cultural treasures such as Injeongjeon Hall, Daejojeon Hall, Seonjeongjeon Hall, and Nakseonjae. Ch...
