Motorbike accident

Friday, 8 August 2008
Yogyakarta, Indonesia

I just took a becak from my hotel in Prawirotaman to Mall Malioboro, when I witnessed two motorbikes crashing in an intersection. My becak driver crossed the intersection first, and then I heard a loud bang behind me. I think it was two school students involved in the accident. Several people immediately rushed in to help them.

I am now sitting in Cafe Excelso in Mall Malioboro. The security guards didn’t bother to check my bag when I entered the mall.

On the street outside I was approached by a student who asked me if I had time to fill in a questionnaire about tourism in Yogya. I happily completed it and got a key chain in return, shaped as Borobudur temple.
