The Colorful Work World
Ch. 38 Holidays in Jogja 3

Our trip to the mole took quite a bit of time. For about half an hour we had to wait before we got to our destination. Indeed, the streets in Jogja are not surprised if it is jammed, especially again the holiday season like this. Surely there are many immigrants who visit this one student city.

The mole we aim for this time is one of the big moles and has long stood in Jogja. The mole is called Plazong. Since I was a child too, this mole has been standing in the center of Yogyakarta. But only when I was in college did I know the way to this place. With the help of Bole Map.

The solo road is where you find this mall if you continue to walk east, you will get to Adi Sucipto airport. The usual place I'd go if I'd use a plane. This road is large enough to drive up to 3 cars next to each other. Amazingly, this road is still jammed even though it is wide enough.

I heard all flights by plane are moving to a new airport. Whether the news is true or not. Because if true, the new airport must be repaired because public transportation is not complete there. Not like the airports that exist today.

Maybe there will be an airport train like the one at Soekarno-hatta airport. But I've never had personal experience using that means of transportation. If that happens, I would like to enjoy the facility one day.

This mole has many large parking lots. Consists of approximately five floors. This time we parked on the 4th floor, just below the rooftop. There is also an entrance into the mole. Just like other moles, sometimes there is a different air pressure when outside the mole and into the mole. It is still unclear why this could happen.

"Finally up, come on bang, quick on down. Don't sleep just like that." I said as I woke up the sisters who were still sleeping.

This time we brought a full team except my grandmother and my bude. Arip also took to the streets this time. Because we're going to watch a movie at the cinema together. Rarely can we do this. Since Arip is out of town for college, for all the family sightseeing is a rare moment for now.

Although the trip is not too long, it is customary to ride in a car all children sleep during the trip. I am the same as it used to be, now that I have grown up I prefer to listen to music or see the scenery.

Drought sleep while on the way to make my father protest. Fortunately at that time the mother who always made calm father. He protested because if everyone slept, he had no friends talking on the way. Fortunately, we went for a walk with the driver. You no longer need to hold the steering wheel.

We went straight into the mole to find a movie theater. We haven't bought tickets to watch. Unlike children, parents still do not apply digital purchases. Still making purchases at ticket counters. Ngantri is definitely inevitable if you buy at the counter.

Unlike me who can buy online as much as possible. Because it's easier and doesn't need to. Tickets are only printed independently. Digital life makes life easier. But you have to be careful too, because most likely the ease of purchase will make us easier to spend money. Indeed it is good for economic development, but if it is too wasteful. It would be bad for our finances.

"Where did you go while you were waiting for the movie to start?" Ask my mom to all the kids.

"Eat! I'm hungry already! " My sister Lamda replied with enthusiasm.

Indeed, my youngest sister is the most enthusiastic when it comes to food. Seen from his stomach is quite round. If you're hungry, my sister this one reces once. Although he is still SD, but it seems that he is getting higher. It seems like when he will be Junior High. His height can exceed mine.

Seeing the answer from sister, we headed straight to the nearest dining area. This time we chose a safe place to eat. Hakben is our place of choice.

This restaurant provides Japanese cuisine that is suitable for the tongues of all our families. Especially me who really likes the culture of Japan. My hands are used to using chopsticks to eat in a place like this.

"Find me a seat, son, I'll book first." I asked the others to find a seat.

This has to be done because otherwise, worry we won't get a seat. I myself chose to accompany my mother out of fear that no attendant would help deliver the food to the table. We let our mother carry a tray of food alone.

There are no rules to keep the distance so the queue to buy food is still tight. But thanks to the shrewd staff, it didn't take long until our turn came.

“What order is good mas?” Ask my mother.

“This one is mah, good as”

"Ok, mbak mission, I ordered Package menu. as many as 6. Just like drinking water the rest of ocha tea. " My mother quickly ordered the same package for all of us based on the advice I gave.

Fortunately, the family tastes for this restaurant are all the same, so there is no need to order a variety of things. I helped my mother after our order came.

"Food has arrived. Let's share it soon, heavy. " Say to my sister who is playing games at the restaurant dining table.

"Let's all pray before we eat" We began to pray before we ate. Do not let us barbarians eat without praying first.

Food this time rice along with beef with onion cloves as a seasoning. Then shrimp and chicken flour as side dish. Most bento packages in this restaurant have menus like this. Do not forget to drink with ocha. If not ocha, not complete our Japanese cuisine menu.

Ocha itself is a Japanese tea that is usually not sweet. Therefore, it is impossible to get diabetes if you drink ocha. Not everyone likes this tea. Especially with Indonesians who in fact have been accustomed to drinking sweet tea. Surely only people who have been used to drinking ocha will order this drink.

The cutlery used is certainly chopsticks from wood, but this restaurant also prepares a spoon for those who are not accustomed to using it. The unique thing about chopsticks is that there are several manners that we must obey when using chopsticks in Japan. For example, it is not permissible to pierce food and point to people using chopsticks. But if in Indonesia is not a problem, unless you are eating with a native Japanese.

"Alhamdulillah" finished eating us a walk downstairs first while waiting for the time of the movie in the cinema.

On the way, we saw many shops around us. There are various kinds of shops ranging from fashion, toys, to taverns.

There is also a playground for children, Tenzon. I used to love playing arcade games at this place. But because we don't have much time at the moment, we don't come here.

Gatel's mom wants to go shopping to the supermarket. But because later bothered to take him while watching, he managed to thwart that intention.

"It's time, let's go upstairs to pray and then go to the movies." He said, taking us to the mosque on the top floor.

Either it's a template or something. Usually the mosque is located below and above from the mole. But for this place is better the mosque above. Different from the one below this mole.

We went there not using the elevator. Purely use an escalator and walk up to it. Fortunately, I was still strong to go up and down the stairs. Must have to be supervised for fear of slipping. Because my father had slipped so much that I became more alert.

The mosque in this mole has a standard design with a place of prayer and ablution separated between genders. With a dominant wall pattern of white color. Red mosque with background.

Fortunately this mosque is semi-outdoor themed so it has the impression of relief and clean. I am so happy to pray here. In the past when I was in college I always prayed here when I was to this mole. The mosque is quite adem and rarely feels hot when praying here. Unlike the mushola on the bottom floor.

After the prayer, we immediately returned to the cinema to change the goods. In order not to bother carrying things, our prayer time is separated into two shifts. When that guy prays, mom and Yana are guarding the goods. Then we changed to keep the goods when they prayed.

While waiting for another prayer and cinema schedule, I usually play hp see the status of friends. Then also while chatting lightly with brother and father.

"Let's go in, soon the cinema studio door is open. No one is missing, right?" he walked into the cinema after everyone had gathered.

"Father, buy some popcorn first." Said my sister Yana while pointing towards the popcorn cashier.

Usually, I watch a family like this. We bought two kinds of popcorn. Salty and sweet. But we do not buy drinks for fear of kebelt while watching. It's a pity to miss a few minutes of film just because you're wasting water.

In an orderly manner, all spectators sat according to their seats. We sat down in a row because we chose the chair at the same time. The cinema seats are as comfortable and comfortable as they should be. I can't wait to see what kind of movie we're watching.

*After the movie is finished*

".."

Indeed, if the film from the west mostly visual effects are good. It is undeniable that his sophistication. Far from Indonesian films. After finishing watching, everyone inside the studio came out in an orderly manner one by one. No one was jostling let alone pushing each other when they came out.

The unique thing about Plazong cinema is that we can see some ornaments like in the museum when out of the cinema. We can see the history of this place, as well as some historical moments in Jogja. You can also see the amazing view from this high floor.

Seeing the good of western films just now, I hope that someday Indonesian films will be as good as films from outside. I believe in the cinematographic potential of this Pancasila country. Because from year to year, the film quality of the country is getting better. Live Indonesian cinema!
