He was very humble, when we meet him he wants to find food but he still took time to talk with us. He will stay in Indonesia for 3 months. In addition to Yogyakarta he will also travel to Probolinggo, Bali and Lombok. Because

Indonesia. Then, after a lot of talking to him or we ask for a group photograph. After that he went find food eat and cute he asked others where that sell gudeg.
About Malioboro
Jalan
Malioboro (English:
Malioboro Street) is a major
shopping street in Yogyakarta, Indonesia;
the name is also used more generally for the neighborhood around the street. It
lies north-south axis in the line between Yogyakarta Kraton and Mount Merapi.
This is in itself is significant to many of the local population, the
north–south orientation between the palace and the volcano being of importance.
The street is the centre of
Yogyakarta's largest tourist district surrounded with many hotels, restaurants,
and shops nearby. Sidewalks on both sides of the street are crowded with small
stalls selling a variety of goods. In the evening several open-air street side
restaurants, called lesehan, operate along the street.
This is the street of the artists. Street musicians, painters, and other
artists exhibit their creations on this road. Less obvious to the tourist, but
more for the local population, side streets, lanes and structures that lead on
to Malioboro are as important as the street itself.
History
Jalan Malioboro (ca.1900-40)
Jalan Malioboro at night
The street was for many years
two-way, but by the 1980s had become one way only, from the railway line (where
it starts) to the south - to Beringharjo markets, where it ends. The largest,
oldest Dutch era hotel, Hotel Garuda, is located on
the street's northern end, on the eastern side adjacent to the railway line. It
has the former Dutch era Prime Minister's complex, the kepatihan, on the
eastern side.
For many years in the 1980s and
later, a cigarette advertisement was placed on the first building south of the
railway line - or effectively the last building on Malioboro, which advertised Marlboro cigarettes, no doubt appealing to
locals and foreigners who would see a pun with name of the street with a
foreign product being advertised.
It does not reach the walls or
grounds of the Yogyakarta palace, as
malioboro ceases in name adjacent to the very large market Beringharjo (on the
eastern side as well). From this point the street changes name to Jalan Ahmad
Yani (Ahmad Yani Street) and has the former Governors residence on the western
side, and the old Dutch Fort Vredeburg on the eastern side.
