I was down with fever at 37.7 degree celcius and having body aches once I reached home yesterday. So slept the whole time, waking up for a nice hot bitter gourd fish soup cooked by mummy. So scared I got degue, but this morning when I measured with the thermometer its 36.2 degree celcius, so I guess I am ok now.
The 8-days trip was marvellous, other than the mosquitoes and the lice in the carpets and all other things that make me itch, the place is just so relaxing.
I didn't buy as much as I thought I would, I am attributing it to the fact that I didn't really have time to do the homework of reading up about the city in general so I was unable to think before hand what I want to buy, hence I missed most of the good buys, spending time thinking if I should buy this if I should buy that.
Nevertheless, I still bought quite some stuffs:
1 Wayang Golek (wooden puppet)
1 Wayang Kulit (Leather/Skin Puppet) with the "prawn hair" He is called Arjuna, the good guy.
4 batik dresses(not super nice, the lowest quality ones, cheap enough to use as PJs), 3 skirts, 3 pieces of batik sarongs, 1 batik shirt for my dad, 1 batik blouse for myself(so disappointed I didn't find many that fit.
4 pairs of shoes: 2 pairs from BATA at 79,900 and 2 pairs from PGS beside Beteng at 35,000 each.
1 pair of silver earings, tulip shape, dangling type
3 brooches with bling blings, 1 hair clip with bling bling.
1 Jaipong CD 25,000 rupiah only
There I had 2 Gambang lessons with Pak Padi which was quite good. As a group we watched so many Gamelan and dance performance at the Mankunegaran Palace that I lost count.

We watched a wayang there and also another at someone's wedding. Supposedly the groom is a student/graduate from the arts academy so his friends and teachers were invited/hired to put up a wayang kulit show for his wedding. So sad that most people didn't want to stay longer because they can't understand Javanese. Neither could I, but I still enjoy the beautifully crafted puppets and the dalangs who beautifully move them around.
We also watched Wayang Orang at Sriwedari, which is Wayang acted by humans:
