it's been long time after the eruption of Merapi made the people surrounding Merapi (Jogja, Magelang, Klaten) fidgety. the eruption effects were so bad, most people have already known because the tragedy was appeared in every news on every media, every time. they talked about the evacuees camp, the volcanic mudflow, the livestock animals which couldn't be evacuated, and the unstopped eruption itself, etc. a hundred of volunteers were sent to the camp to help them do everything they need. cooking, studying, feeding, checking their health, and so on.
now, Merapi has been being a tourism object. In the surrounding of Merapi, it's all grey because of much volcanic things, the ex-mudflow, the volcanic stones, the sand, etc. but, don't ever imagine that it is really horrible to see, it is firstly, but then, you will see the scene you never see before, it is AMAZING! REALLY AMAZING! he....that was why I couldn't stop to take picture, whereas I was just in far far away from Merapi. yeah, I couldn't go closer to Merapi cause it was really expensive to catch there. I had to spend about Rp 20.000 to rent motorcycle. my friend's motorcycle was forbidden to go further 4 km from Merapi. it was the people who gave that rule, that's only what they can do to earn money after Merapi eruption, I understand obviously, but it was to high for me, for a girl who has several money,,hee...fortunately I brought some food and drink for my trip, because there was so many stalls which offer foods and drinking water.
although I couldn't see Merapi more clearly, my trip with my friend was not so bad,, it was still memorable trip for me,,hoho...(soale maem siang e dibayari! hehe). No at all, I always enjoy my trip, however it goes, cause I love traveling so much!
it is a must for me: going closer to Merapi someday, cause I believe the scenery out there will be more outstanding to see,,but I will not pass the way like last time cause there is another way that doesn't command us to pay as much as like yesterday, even it might be free...that's my friend, Allim, said to me,,
so, do you wanna join me to the next exploring??
