Daisy Irawan commented on a photo in Day 93 - Kraton

It was covered by green green grass. Very cool and nice to hang around. Then, somebody ruined it in the name of going back to the ancient time, where it was a kind of gladiator arena. Tons of sand were taken from the beautiful south beach. Two places are ruined!

Yes, same all over the world. We call them roof tiles. Ian

Solo is a terrific place but it could easily scare you away in the first few minutes. But, get into the centre and explore and you'll get a surprise around every corner. Ian

The breakfast ticket thing works in both directions: Kids Stay Free (jamming all into one bed) means no breakfast tickets for them.

Correct.
Just don’t climb on the sign which says ‘No Climbing’. Anywhere else is fair game.

(But don’t blame me if you end up in yet another police station.)

Ian don’t underestimate us Friday riders’ passion for eating anything which looks even vaguely likely bacon.

That's brilliant. I've a good mind to return to Prambanan for some climbing.

Ian years ago an Indonesian friend helpfully explained to me that interpretation of such signs in Indonesia is very literal.

For example, that sign means ‘No Smoking’ (or guns, dogs, drugs etc) in the area immediately under that sign. So locals understand that the sign’s directive only applies right next to or under the sign. Say within 1 metre of the sign. Anywhere else the directive doesn’t apply.

Same rule for STOP signs at intersections. Only stop if you are directly under the sign. It’s a free-for-all in the rest of the intersection.

(My friend has the characteristic Indonesian sense of humour.)

But Daisy, large motorcycles are fun. Where would we be without them? Ian

Thanks Daisy, complicated stuff from the Hindu epic, Mahabharata. The Indian and Indonesians versions differ. Did Srikandi change genders? Well, it depends on the version.

Thanks Daisy; again, good to have some local comment.
