    It was my first time watching such a performance, and I loved it!!! The plot was familiar to me because I had learned it when I was in school, and the actors' performances were also wonderful! There were some "breaking the fourth wall" interactions from time to time, I loved it! I took a photo with the leading actors after the performance hehehe (What made me a little distracted was that I felt that the actor who played Rama was too thin🤣 He was too thin and weak, and it seemed that he couldn't protect Sita, and it was not easy for him to perform that kind of decent momentum (Dan still acted well!))

    The original royal family, servants and staff still live in the Yogyakarta Sultanate Palace, and they all wear ancient clothes. The palace is located at the end of Malioboro Street. After shopping, you can take an electric tricycle to get there quickly. The palace is not very large. The architecture is traditional Javanese, European, and Islamic architectural features can also be seen. The main attraction is the ancient gamelan musical instruments. It is said that one set is a relic of the Majapahit Dynasty and the other is from the Demu Kingdom. There is a monument donated by overseas Chinese in the palace. The door opens at 8:30 in the morning. An old man at the ticket office has served the palace for decades and has received many Chinese tourists. Chat with him and get some information. The ticket is a package ticket, including air tickets, a total of 8RMB. It takes about an hour to visit. From another exit, you can walk or take a tricycle to the water palace.

    It turns out that the mosque is in the middle of a residential area. 1 way to 2 way. The mosque is clean, comfortable, the people are also friendly. There is also a waiting area for those who are not praying. I am very happy to be able to pray at this mosque. Barakallah...

    Yogyakarta Bird Market is really a magical place. Conventional pets are not common here. There are owls, bats, lizards, snakes, flying squirrels, and monkeys everywhere, which is eye-opening. But these small animals are rather pitiful. The living conditions are not very good. They are all crowded in cages. I went to ask a more "normal" cat shop. A golden long-haired pet cat only costs 800,000 Indonesian rupiah, which is only 400 yuan. It's a pity that I can't take it back home. You can also take a photo with a python here. Just pay 10,000 Indonesian rupiah.
