Hi guys! How are you? Good to see you again. I know it's been a few weeks or maybe a month since my last post. Now I'm going to tell you about my recent holiday to Yogyakarta. I went to Yogyakarta with my elder sister by train on December 25th, 2016. We went on Lodaya Malam train. It's our first time for taking a vacation without my parents. Honestly,I prefer to get away with my parents than just with my elder sister because she's so annoying. The ride took about more than 8 hours and she couldn't sit properly for the entire ride. She always complained about how small the seat is. We arrived in Yogyakarta train station at 4 in the morning. After that my uncle and his son picked us up and took us to the hotel so my sister and I could sleep first before hit the road. Our first destination in Yogyakarta was Mangunan Pine Forest. It's located in Dinglo, Yogyakarta https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVX2hv_Awrjx_q4kyftRcf...
