My trip to Indonesia on the 17 to 19 October was more like a tagging-along trip! I followed my parents, my 5th aunt and her husband. Daddy has to attend a dinner which will launch a new large format copier machine.
I was stunned when I reached Yogya. I didn't think that there are such immigration center which is like only 2 immigration counter and there after you walked afew steps, you reached the carpark/ pick up point. It was really small, and daddy told me the airplane runway was smaller than the usual ones.
This is the restaurant we went for lunch.
The food is served.
And they calculate the plates that we eat, like in Sakae sushi..
Daddy's client came and fetch us before we headed down to their so-called 'Restaurant'. We went to the community center where the dinner will be held to settle some arrangements. After that, it was a short drive to the factory. The guard opened the gate for us and we were in the factory-cum-office.
We first visited the first factory-room where it was all dark and dirty. The light bulbs were all black due to the toner dusts and stuffs. The machines were huge! Alright, not as huge as those in bigger factories. Anyway, we had to walked across a pathway that isn't made in cement but filled with small rough rocks and I was wearing heals. Gosh!! Finally the tiptoe session across the pathway came to an end, and I found myself facing a dog. Though it was a mutt, it was so cute and it kept biting my hand. I think it is still teething. the second factory is still in construction and the staffs were actually doing the place up and the machine by themselves. Interesting huh? The place where they put things together were just next to it and it was huge. It's interesting to see that the staffs took parts out from the old copier machines and place it into another to make a new copier. This is the refurnishing part.
This is where we parked in the factory-cum-office
This is the first factory, taken near the entrance. Thus, it looks brighter.
After the factory visit, we headed to the main office to take a seat and rest from the heat outside. We were served with snakeskin fruit and coffee.
Snake Skin looks like this.
Since there were sometime before the dinner start and my dad doesn't want us to wait in the communnity center while they rehearse, his client and him decided to put my aunt, mom and me to a Spa which was only available at 4pm. So we have about half hour to spare before the appointment. His client brought us to his mansion and yet again, a guard opens the gate for him after he pressed the honk of his car. It is huge! The main hall is the size of 2 badminton courts and they have a guest house separated from their main building/house by a huge garden.

The place we had spa.
The spa consists of massaging, body steam, body scrub, body mask and manicure/peddicure. One person is about SGD35 after I calculated. It was about 3 hrs and it was super enjoying and relaxing. We headed to Hyatt Hotel to freshened up before going for the dinner. The 3hrs of spa made me missed my daddy's speech. I was so sad. I heard that his speech was funny. The entire dinner event was in Malay and I didn't understand a thing, but I enjoyed the dinner. The food, the hip hop dance and the magicians were hysterical!
The day came to a close when I went back to the hotel. I couldn't sleep due to the rythmn coming from the drum/bass from the dinning area of the hotel.
