We are treated well here.      It has many excellent staffs who serve customers. We plan to go around Malioboro after the children take a short nap. We want to enjoy having ‘lesehan’ there. It is a kind of restaurant but we sit on the ground.      Many kinds of local handicraft are sold along Malioboro street. Both domestic and foreign tourists are interested in them. I want to buy some souvenirs. Don’t worry, I’ll also buy you the most interesting one. Love Dara
