Jogja, Twitter, and Food Fest!
I always had new wonderful experience whenever I went to Jogja. Last weekend it was my fourth time there. It was my third one this year alone. This is once again, a work related trip. Nevertheless, it was so much fun.
Although I had to prepared for the exhibition and workshops that was held in Yogyakomtek at the Jogja Exhibition Centre, sightseeing and culinary trip in between work load is inevitable. Jogja will always be a beautiful and exciting city. This time it was Gudeg Batas Kota, Sate Kambing Samirono, Gadjah Wong, and Alun-Alun that became the stopping place for me and the guys to enjoy the experience of Jogja.
Wonderful thing happen yesterday, in one of the workshop session, being a twitterholic I couldn't resist to update and interact with my fellow Twitters. Thomas and Lala is one of my Twitter/Blogger friends in Jogja. Realizing that I was in Jogja, they think we should meet. Plus, They being in Jogja Food Fest they let me to pick up the menu, and they offer to brought it to me in JEC. I thought it was a joke, until I can't believe my eyes that they were right there at JEC!
I know now that the power of Twitter could leads you to a wonderful connections with your fellow twitters! I experience that with my insanely group at Jakarta, and now I felt that too with this two sweet Twitter couple in Jogja.
To Thomas and Lala many thanks for the wonderful yet swiftly meet up (the nasi kebuli is breathtakingly delicious!). I promised when I travelled to Jogja again, you guys will be the first one that I contact and we could chit-chat in much longer time.
And when you guys plan a trip to Jakarta one day, do contact me. I will personally be your guide around the town. I can promise you that.
Me, with Thomas and Lala
Tweeting while in the middle of the workshop is fun!
