Kampung Batik Laweyan

One of the main attraction of Solo, Batik City, is obviously its center of batik producer, famously known as “Kampung Batik Laweyan” (Laweyan Batik Village). Here you can find many traditional batik producers selling wide range of batiks in relatively cheap price than in Jakarta. As a bonus, you can also step in their backyard…

Visiting Lik Tut in Sragen

While in Solo, we drove 45 km eastbound to Sragen, a little town where my my relatives live. Lik Tut, my auntie has been living here for years. I’m very happy to pay a visit to her house with Elok and the kids.

Arrived in Solo!

We decided to spend the long weekend in Solo, looking for vintage culinary experience, batik hunting and visiting my relatives there. I and Elok took a picture shortly after we arrived at Adisoemarmo airport.

Congrats Bapak, Best Seller in Gramedia!

I am pleasantly surprised to see my father-in-law’s book “Wasiat Sang Begawan” is on Best Seller rack in Gramedia. Especially as I designed the book cover. Congrats Bapak!
