Location   : Jogjakarta
Trip          : September 2010

“Jogjakarta is a province with status as special region of the Republic Indonesia.  Surrounded by dense forests, lush paddy fields and picturesque mountains, Jogjakarta never fails to be a fascinating city to explore. Nicholas Tan flew miles away from Singapore just to clearly experience rich culture and savour a traditional way of life. Rich in history and culture dates back to the eighteenth century, and its magnificent palaces, temples and shrines are testament to that. What about the local markets and avenues milling with people and picking up art and craft lovingly created by Javanese craftsmen and painters? Come and experience it yourself! – Photographed by Nicholas Tan”
