Saraswati Borobudur Hotel ☆ Yogyakarta, Indonesia
During our trip in Yogyakarta (Jogjakarta), we stayed at 2 different places. The first hotel was Saraswati Borobudur Hotel, a hotel located right by the entrance to Borobudur. We stayed there for 2 nights. We were glad we stayed at Saraswati Borobudur Hotel because it was very close to Borobudur and the location was convenient for the Borobudur Sunrise Tour, which I highly recommend anyone doing if you have a chance to go. I did it with my 13-month-old baby and it was fine. He slept in my Ergobaby carrier. During the second half of our trip, we stayed at Hyatt Regency Yogyakarta for 2 nights and we were very happy there as well. I will post about Hyatt Regency Hotel later.
We let our son crawl around in the hotel lobby while we were getting checked in. After about 5 minutes though, his hands and knees got dirty as expected. This is a hard age.
ROOM
I booked a Junior Suite since there were 5 of us. It is nice that Saraswati Borobudur Hotel let us stay in one room because many hotels in this region ask for 2 rooms if you have more than 2 kids. We received an internet rate of US$175 for a Junior Suite, which is cheaper than the published rate. On the day we arrived, we were pleasantly surprised that we were upgraded to a Royal Suite. I assume that they let both us and our friends stay in Royal Suites because it was an off-season and we were one of the few guests staying at the time. The Royal Suite was huge and it was really nice for our kids, too.
We changed the first entrance space into our kids sleeping space. We moved the extra bed from the bedroom and moved it next to the sofa so that one child can sleep on a sofa and the other sleeps on the extra bed.
We also moved a suitcase rest from the bathroom and placed the baby cot in there so that our baby son would have some space to himself and the rest of us have a peaceful sleep. So I thought. My son did not like to sleep in the cot/pack and play. I think he recognized that he was in a different space and cried and cried. I lost sleep on both nights because he would wake up 3 times.

SWIMMING POOL
Kids had a lot of fun playing at the pool.
We all enjoyed staying at Saraswati Borobudur Hotel. If you were to do a visit at Borobudur, I highly recommend doing the sunrise tour. If you do a Borobudur Sunrise Tour, I recommend that you stay near Borobudur. If you stay near Borobudur, I can tell you that Saraswati Borobudur Hotel is great.
When I was researching where to stay in Yogyakarta, I was recommended by my friend to stay at Saraswati Borobudur Hotel. I went online and looked at their website as well as TripAdvisor’s reviews. I take reviews on TripAdvisor as a guideline to make a decision, but don’t necessarily take in everything I read on TripAdvisor just because everybody’s review comes from different expectations and standards. We had a good experience staying at Saraswati Borobudur Hotel.
One thing that I noticed was that some people pointed out and complained on TripAdvisor about the noise level of call to prayer at Saraswati Borobudur Hotel. Hearing call to prayer at 4:00 in the morning at full blast is very common everywhere in Indonesia and you probably cannot avoid it. One of the few places that you might not experience the blasting sound of call to prayer at 4:00 a.m. is Bali because it’s an island with a majority of population practicing Balinese Hinduism. We went on a sunrise tour at Borobudur on the second day of our stay and 4:00 a.m. call to prayers was a perfect alarm clock. We asked for a wake-up call, but it was almost unnecessary. We left Saraswati Borobudur Hotel at 4:30 to walk to Manohara Hotel to buy tickets to get in. You could probably leave Saraswati Borobudur Hotel at 5:00 a.m., but 30 minutes wouldn’t really make much difference, plus we were with little kids, so we wanted to make sure we had a plenty of time until the sunrise.
We got back to our hotel, Saraswati Borobudur, around 7:30 a.m. and had breakfast. We all had a wonderful morning nap after breakfast. It was nice that we could just stay at the hotel and relax in the afternoon as well. Since we went to Yogyakarta with our good friends, the kids entertained each other. If you have kids, I recommend planing a trip to Yogyakarta with friends with kids. It’ll make a trip and tour at Borobudur more fun for the children and easier for parents.
Saraswati Borobudur Hotel was literally a minute walk from the main entrance.
*This is a regular gate which opens at 6:00 am and different from the entrance for the sun rise tour. In order to do a sunrise tour, you take a left facing this gate and walk about 300 meters and you’ll find a Manohara Borobudur Hotel‘s gate to your right. It was a 5 minute walk from Saraswati Borobudur Hotel.

Borobudur Sunrise ☆ Yogyakarta, Indonesia
My family made a trip to Yogyakarta/Jogjakarta during a mid-term break this year. My husband was finally able to take some time off from work during our children’s mid-term break. We debated whether we should go to Bali or Yogyakarta. I had never been to Yogyakarta and after having talked to some friends, I came to a conclusion that I needed to see Yogyakarta before leaving Indonesia. So we did. We got on a plane and went to Yogyakarta and saw Borobudur!
学期の中間休みに、ジョグジャカルタへ家族で行ってきました。夫もやっと子供の学期の休みに仕事の休みを取ってくれました。バリに行くかジョグジャカルタへ行くか迷ったのですが、色々な友人に相談してみた結果、インドネシア離任前にジョグジャカルタを見ておいた方が良いという結論に達しました。それなので、飛行機に乗ってジョグジャへ行き、憧れのボロブドゥールを見てきました！
We got to Borobudur around 4:50 A.M. in the morning and it was still dark.
午前4：50頃ボロブドゥールに到着。まだ暗かったです。
I had my baby son in my Ergobaby Carrier and climbed the steps. It was actually easier than people have told me. The kids, 8, 6, and 5 years of age, had no problem going up to the top.
赤ちゃんである息子を、エルゴベビーの抱っこひもの中に入れ、ボロブドゥールの階段を登りました。聞いていたよりも楽でした。８歳、６歳、４歳になる子供達も、難無く上まで階段を上がって行きました。
Hungry Stomach
Sleepy Eyes
I was thrilled that we made a trip to Yogyakarta and saw Borobudur. Now I can say that I saw Borobudur!! I loved seeing the sun rise at Borobudur, which I have seen so many pictures on many blogs in the past 2 and a half years which made me long for it even more.
ジョグジャへ行って、ボロブドゥールを自分の目で見れた事は感動でした。ボロブドゥールに行って来たよ！ってもう人に言えます〜。過去２年半の間、ブログなどインターネット上で見て来たボロブドゥールの日の出写真。実際自分の目で見る夜明けのボロブドゥールは、幻想的で素敵でした。
Many of the photos you see on blogs and internet probably don’t show what it was like to be at the top of Borobudur because people look for angles or a spot where they can avoid having tourists to be in their photos. When we were at the top of the Borobudur site, it looked like this below.
ブログやインターネット上に載っているボロブドゥールの写真の多くからは、実際ボロブドゥールに居るとどんな感じかが分からないのではと思います。というのは、皆さん観光客が写真に入らないアングルやスポットを見つけては写真を撮影しているからなのです。ところが実際ボロブドゥールへ行くと、下の写真のような感じ。
Steep Steps
The steps were pretty steep and each step was tall, so it is not easy for elderly and little people to go down.
We went down the exit that leads to the Manohara Hotel (#4 Dark Blue on the map below) because we did a Borobudur Sunrise Tour through Manohara Hotel. If you do a regular tour entering from the regular Borobudur Office (#4 Light Blue on the map), I imagine that you will probably have a different exit. I heard from my friends that there are a few different exits and one of them is out to a long walk with souvenir shops. If you want to shop, that’s fine, but if you’re tired after the tour and want to go out, I hear that it could be tiring. They said that people guide you to go to this one exit that leads you to the market, but there is another exit and you do not have to go through the shopping. You might want to check before you go to Borobudur.
私たちはマノハラ・ホテル(下の地図上では濃い青の４番)を通じてボロブドゥールの日の出ツアーを行ったため、マノハラ・ホテルへ行く方面の出口を利用しました。通常の入り口(薄い青の４番)から入場した場合、多分他の出口があるのだと思います。友人曰く、出口がいくつかあり、人が誘導する方はお土産屋さんの並ぶマーケットがある道でまるで迷路の様で疲れるとのこと。買い物をされたい方には丁度良いかもしれません。もしすぐに出たい場合は、他の出口があるとの事です。行く前に調べておくのも手かもしれません。
I turned back to look at Borobudur again after we had descended. What an amazing place…
ボロブドゥールを出て下った後、もう一度ボロブドゥールを拝みたいと振り向いてみました。素敵でした〜。

We did a Borobudur Sunrise Tour. Thus, we went to Manohara Hotel (#4 on the map), hotel only 5-minute walk from Saraswati Borobudur Hotel (#8 on the map) which is where we stayed. We were instructed by the receptionist at Saraswati Borobudur Hotel to go to Manohara Hotel for the tour, and we paid IDR 250,000 (about US$25) with our KITAS, a foreign residency permit. The admission fee for the Borobudur Sunrise Tour for a foreign visitor who does not reside in Indonesia is IDR 380,000. With this ticket, you get a flash light, an escort to the bottom of the steps and a light snack with coffee or tea after the tour at the Hotel breakfast area.
I thought that it was quite pricy and I found out later that it was much cheaper to go to Borobudur during the regular hours which is from 6:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. The whole reason why we stayed at Saraswati Borobudur Hotel was so that we could see the sunrise at Borobudur with our young children, so it didn’t even cross my mind to check what the cost would be or if there are different charges for different times. It was, however, well worth the money and efforts to do the Borobudur Sunrise Tour and I do recommend it. If you want to do the Sunrise Tour, I recommend you stay near Borobudur. We stayed at Saraswati Borobudur Hotel and were happy with our accommodation. Do I recommend you to stay at Saraswati Borobudur Hotel? Sure. I don’t know other hotels, but we liked it. It was also recommended by a few expat friends to stay there.
From 6:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M., the Borobudur regular tour opens to public. For more information, I recommend checking Wikitravel sight.
私たちはボロブドゥールの日の出ツアーをしました。それなので、サラスワティ・ボロブドゥール・ホテル(地図⑧)から徒歩５分程の距離にあるマノハラ・ホテル(地図④)まで歩いて行きました。サラスワティ・ボロブドゥール・ホテルの受付の方に言われた通り、マノハラ・ホテルへ行き、KITAS（外国人在留許可証）を見せ、250,000ルピアを日の出ツアーの入場料として払いました。インドネシアに在住ではない外国人観光客であると、380,000ルピアであるそうです。(2013年現在)このチケットを購入すると、懐中電灯、ボロブドゥールの下までのエスコート、そしてツアー後に、簡単なスナックとコーヒーまたは紅茶が頂けます。
値段がとても高いなと感じました。また通常の開園時間である午前６時以降に行くと、値段が全然安いことを後になって知りました。でもサラスワティ・ボロブドゥール・ホテルに泊まった理由は、ボロブドゥールから徒歩で行けるホテルであるため、朝早くても子供達も連れてボロブドゥールの日の出を見にに行けると思ったので、ボロブドゥールへ行く入場料の値段に違いがあるかなどを調べようとも思っていませんでした。振り返ってみて、お金を出しても日の出ツアーをやって良かった、と思います。またボロブドゥールで日の出を見たい方は、ボロブドゥールの近くに滞在する事をお勧めします。私たちはサラスワティ・ボロブドゥール・ホテルに宿泊し、良かったと感じました。お勧めかと訊かれたら、お勧めと答えますね。
午前６時から午後５時までは、ボロブドゥールの開園時間となります。詳しくは、こちらをご参照ください。
I enjoyed our whole trip in Yogyakarta even though I started to feel sick a day before we returned to Jakarta. We were staying at Hyatt at that time and thanks to the hotel, I actually had a great time even though I wasn’t feeling well. On the day we flew back to Jakarta, I felt even worse. Apparently I had a stomach virus. It was very challenging for me to go to the airport, get on the airplane and come back. I wasn’t sure if I could make it, but thanks to my friends and family’s support, I did. Thank you!! What a relief! Thus I did not blog for a quite a while because I was on vacation and then had been sick in bed. I’m better now.
My 2 Cents
We stayed at two different hotels during our 5-day trip in Jogja. We first stayed at Saraswati Borobudur Hotel, which is located literally 1 minute walk from the gate to Borobudur, for the first 2 nights and then we moved to Hyatt Regency Yogyakarta for the last 2 nights. We were happy about the way we scheduled our stay and I recommend both hotels for people who want to visit Jogja, but for different reasons. I will write posts about both Saraswati Borobudur Hotel and Hyatt Regency Yogyakarta next.
ジョグジャでの旅行は全て楽しかったのですが、実は最後の方で体調を崩しました。帰る前の日に既に調子がおかしかったのですが、ジャカルタへ戻る日が一番辛かったです。どうやらウィールス性の腹痛にみまわれたようです。飛行場へ行き、飛行機に乗って、タクシーで戻るのがしんどかったのですが、夫と友人たちが手伝ってくれてなんとか戻ってきました。戻って来て、ほっとしました。旅行、そして体調を崩していたという理由がもとで、しばらくブログからはご無沙汰していたのですが、お陰さまでやっと体調も戻ってきました。
私のお薦め
ジョグジャ滞在中、私たちは２箇所のホテルに宿泊しました。最初の２日間は、ボロブドゥールの門から歩いて５分のサラスワティ・ボロブドゥール・ホテルに、そして残りの２日間はハイヤット・リージェンシーで泊まりました。宿泊を分けて正解でしたし、これからジョグジャへ行かれる方に両方のホテルを、違った理由でお勧めします。ホテル・サラスワティ・ボロブドゥールとハイヤット・リージェンシー・ジョグジャカルタに関しては、後ほど掲載したいと思います。
Friday Finds ☆ Essential bed n’ bath
Essential bed n’ bath is a store with items to fill your space in a bedroom and bathroom as suggested in the name. Essential is part of the Vinoti Living group. There is a store in Kemang Club Villas where I took these photos. White interior design is my favorite, so I always admire their window displays whenever I pass by their store.
Essential bed n’ bathは、名前の通り、バスルームやベッドルームを飾るもので溢れているお店です。エッセンシャルはVinoti Living（ビノッティ）グループに入っているそうです。Kemang Club Villas（クマン・クラブ・ビラズ）にお店があり、そこで写真を撮りました。クマンクラブビラズには、他にVinoti Livingのお店もあります。インテリアで私の一番好きな色は白なので、この前を通る時いつも素敵だな〜と思っていました。
I think the photos tell you what type of store Essential is. It’s a lovely store. I love their big silver tin decor. I have one heart and two stars at home which I love. I have also been eying on the fluffy rugs they sell, which my baby son could destroy it. Thus, I am contemplating whether to get one or not, but I would love to have the gray or white one.
写真から、どんなお店なのかお分かりになれるかと思います。Essentialはとっても素敵なお店です。ビーンバッグの上に飾ってあるシルバーの飾りは私のお気に入りです。家に、ハートのものが１つ、星を２つ飾ってあります。ふわふわのラグも可愛いな、と目を着けています。息子がきっと駄目にしてしまうので、買うのを躊躇しているのですが、グレーか白のものが欲しいななんて思います。
To go to Kemang Club Villas from Kemang Raya, a main road in Kemang, you take a left on the small street next to The Papilion and Kemang Club Villas is at the end of the street. There are a great Kiwi/Australian cafe Antipodean, and Vinoti Living, in the same center and Authentique French Bakery close by.
Kemang Club Villasは、クマンラヤのパピリオンの横の道をずっと奥に行った所にあり、同じセンターには、お洒落なニュージーランド／オーストラリアのカフェAntipodeanや家具屋さんのVinoti Living、近くにはフランスパン屋さんのAuthentique French Bakeryなどもあります。

Have you seen a beautiful office like this? I was delighted to have such a wonderful opportunity to take photos of the Chevrolet NAW Pluit office located in Pluit, the north area of Jakarta where I have never been before. I felt like I was in a different country. Anyways, I loved the design of the Chevrolet office furnished with cool modern design furniture. Some, not all, furniture pieces are from KOI Kemang in South Jakarta.
こんな素敵なオフィス見た事ありますか？ジャカルタの北に位置するプルイという地域にある、新しくオープンしたシェバレーディーラーのオフィスの撮影をするという機会に恵まれました。それにしてもプルイはとても遠かったです。まるで外国に居る気分でした。シェバレーオフィスはとても素敵でモダンな家具が置かれていて、とにかくお洒落でした。全てではないのですが、いくつかのお部屋は、KOI Kemangのデザインチームがデザインし、家具はKOI Kemangで調達されていました。
Furniture by KOI Kemang
I was in awe the whole time I was taking photos. The design of each office was well thought through and beautiful. What a great idea to furnish your office with trendy furniture.
Below areas were furnished with some furniture from different furniture companies. The tables in the three photos below were from KOI Kemang, but the chairs were from a different store.
写真を取っている時、とってもドキドキしてしまいました。各部屋とても考えてデザインされおり、とても素敵でした。トレンディーな家具で職場をデザインするってかっこ良いですね。家具でこんなに変わるんだなと思いました。
下の写真のスペースは、他の家具屋さんで購入された家具でデザインされたお部屋になります。下３枚の写真にあるテーブルだけは、KOI Kemangで購入したそうです。
Furniture from Other Stores
This little area used as a library was lovely.
I enjoyed taking photos of the whole office building. I didn’t take photos of the bathroom, but the design inside the bathroom was really neat as well. What a gorgeous place to work in, don’t you think? I felt like I was in a magazine.
写真撮影はとても楽しめました。お手洗いの写真は撮らなかったのですが、お手洗いのスペースもとても素敵でした。こんな場所で働けたら良いですね。なんだか雑誌の一ページに居る様な気分でした。
KOI Kemang has a design team who can work with you and help design offices and homes. For more information, you may call or email.

Monday Mode ☆ Target Mint Green Shirt
I don’t know anyone from the States or who have lived in the U.S. who would not love Target. When I ask my female friends from the U.S. who live overseas what they would like to do back home when they go visit, many of them answer “go to Target”.
I got two mint color shirts with a heart for both of my girls at Target. I love mint green color. In fact, that’s my favorite color these days. The shirt is still too big on my middle child as you can see from folded sleeve…
アメリカのターゲットってご存知ですか？日本では同じ様な感じのお店が無いのですが、敢えて言えばヨーカドーや西友といった感じでしょうか。ターゲットは、大きなお店であれば、食品から、電化製品、食器、服、家具、文房具と何でも揃うお店です。アメリカ人やアメリカに住んでいた外国人の友人で、ターゲットが大好きでない人を知らないくらい、とにかくアメリカ人には人気のお店です。ターゲットの魅力なのですが、ターゲットブランドの値段がとてもお手頃であること、そしてターゲットはデザイナーとコラボをして、普段手に届かない商品をお手頃価格で売る、といったような企画をやったり、1ドルコーナーを充実したり、常に可愛い商品を入れたりと、常に消費者の心を奪う戦略を使っていると思います。
このミント色のシャツはそのターゲットで買いました。最近ミント色にハマっていて、私の一番お気に入りの色です。このシャツは、まだ次女にはちょっと大きすぎて、袖を捲っています。
What are these numbers? My girl came up with this. They are the numbers representing the ages of her siblings and herself. She is 5!
娘が自分で考えてポーズしました。何の番号かというと、本人も入れた兄弟の年齢。彼女は５歳です！
In the past week or so, I’ve been very tired and could not stay up past 10:00 pm. I had a very busy week up to the weekend before last. I had been either falling asleep in front of the computer or in our living room couch. Thus, no posting last week. I just could not do it. Even though I have been sleeping more than usual in the past week, I feel that my body still hasn’t recovered. No, I’m not pregnant and I’d better not be because we are done. I’m done. Fini. I stopped nursing my son a couple of weeks ago. That was a big deal to me, but I was pretty mechanical about it. I did not want nursing to be an emotional one because I know in my head that he is my youngest and last. By the third child though, nursing to me was a task more than anything although I did enjoy the morning cuddle with him after he woke up and I admit that I miss having him in my bed next to me nursing.
I hope I’ll recover from whatever I had and be more on top of my blog. I would like to keep up with blogging. At the same time, I recognize that I need to spend more time with my kids and have more energy for them. My blog is not meant to take my time away from my kids. It does not generate any revenue and the reason why I’d like to keep it that way at the moment is because I’d like to remember that my kids are my priority, not my blog.
ここ最近１週間程、夜10時以降起きていられませんでした。先週までとても忙しかったという事もあるかと思いますが、コンピューターの前やリビングのソファーで眠ってしまっていました。先週は普段よりも沢山寝ているはずなのに、それでも疲労感が残っています。それで先週は全くブログの更新が出来ませんでした。ちなみに、妊娠じゃありませんよ。子供は3人で充分です。しかも３番目の息子の授乳も数週間前に終わらせました。私にとっては結構大きな事でしたが、機械的に終わらせました。末っ子で、今回が最後の授乳であることが分かっていたので、感傷的になりたくなかったということもあります。３番目だからか、授乳がお仕事であった感じはあるのですが、朝起きて、息子と一緒に横になって授乳したぬくもりが今でも懐かしくなる事はあります。
今週はもうちょっと元気になって、ブログをちゃんと更新したいと思います。同時に、子供ともっと一緒に時間を過ごしてあげなくてはいけないと反省しています。ブログに子供との時間を取られるのでは本末転倒なので。ブログで収入がある訳では無いですし、そのまま今の状態を継続したいと思います。子供が最優先であり、ブログが中心でないということを覚えておくために。
Friday Finds ☆ DYRT Jakarta
It is my pleasure to present DYRT, which stands for Do You Recycle Too? DYRT is a unique shop in Indonesia where you can buy products that you don’t see in other parts of the world. DYRT products are all made with recycled materials such as toothpaste cases which you see on the products made with white and silver woven materials and billboard vinyl which you see in colorful products.
I learned about DYRT when I went to the American Women’s Association bazaar in autumn 2010, soon after I moved to Indonesia. I’ve been wanting to come visit DYRT store in Kemang ever since the store opened above Le Souq in the same center as KOI Kemang.
The concept of DYRT originates from trying to reduce waste. It is not just recycling the materials such as billboard vinyl. The founder of DYRT, Karen Isdaryono, recreate waste into products with a style and trendy look. You can view the collections on DYRT’s homepage.
I think the products from this store make good souvenirs. You can buy one-of-a-kind products to take to your family and friends back home.
DYRTをご紹介できることを光栄に思います。DYRTとは、「あなたもリサイクルしてますか？」(Do you recycle Too?)という英語の文章の単語の頭文字を繋げてあります。DYRTの商品は全てリサイクルの材料で作られています。例えば白とシルバーの歯磨き粉のケースをリサイクルして使ったものや、もう一つはカラフルな宣伝に使用されたビニールのバナーを使用しています。
2010年の秋にアメリカ婦人協会のバザーに行った際、DYRTの事を知りました。クマンのKOI KemangやインテリアショップであるLe SouqがあるセンターにDYRTが開店して以来ずっと行ってみたかった場所で、最近やっと行ってきました。
DYRTのコンセプトは、ゴミの削減です。ただリサイクルするだけでなく、オーナーであるカレンさんは、センス良く、トレンディーなデザインで製造しています。コレクションを見たい方は、こちらのページをご覧下さい。
DYRTの商品は、お土産にも良いのでは、と思います。故郷の家族友人にも重宝してもらえる珍しいものがありますね。

Monday Mode ☆ Gingersnaps
Are you ready for a cuteness overdose?
Ever since I heard about Gingersnaps a couple of years ago from one of the readers and my friend, The Diplomatic Wife, I have been meaning to go to Gingersnaps. Gingersnaps is a brand for children’s and maternity wear in the Philippines. To read more about Gingersnaps, click here.
I have been wanting to feature Gingersnaps on my blog and I finally did. Why did it take me so long to do this? Please don’t ask me that question. I don’t know the answer, either…
I can’t afford to buy many outfits from the store, but I wanted to show my readers as many outfits as possible and say this is Gingersnaps, so I wrote an email message to the company. Sometimes I can be organized. I wanted to take photos of their clothes at the store and I needed a permission to do so. Gladly I received a permit to take photos at a store in Gandaria City. Since I am not skilled to shoot indoors under the light like that, the colors did not turn out as well as I wished. I apologize for the low quality of my photos. My photos did not do justice to the beautiful store.
Anyhow, here I present Gingersnaps from the Philippines.
Enjoy the dreamy fashion of Gingersnaps.
Maternity Clothes
How was it?
Do you know what I mean? Don’t you just love Gingersnaps? I spotted many designs that I would totally wear myself and I would like to ask Gingersnaps if they would make in adult women sizes. I made a few purchases at Gingersnaps for my girls. They love the new shirts from Gingersnaps.
Even the shopping bag from Gingersnaps is cute.
