ukirsari Says: Anggrunggondok village also known as a famous piggies farming at Wonosobo. I like to visit them which looks so nice and fat and sounds 'grunt grunt' everytime :)
ukirsari Says: After Dieng highland, nearby Wonosobo also lies the old Hindu temples ruins so called Candi Dieng. It's predating Borobudur temple at Muntilan, Magelang and the name of Dieng itself derived from Di-Hyang [Abode of The Gods]. This complex of temples can be reached from...

Kresna Gallery Hotel: Breakast at the Hotel
bpacker Says: It must be some kind of conspiracy, in hotels all over the world, to serve food that is as far removed from reality and local taste as possible. It was also the case in Wonosobo, Java, Gallery Hotel. Though breakfast was delicious, it was unreal. When you stay in Gallery...

Various Roadside Vendors (kaki lima): Street Food in Wonosobo
bpacker Says: Sometimes, it pays to venture out of your 4/5* hotel instead of eating the unreal food they serve in there. I did it in Wonosobo (Java) and boy was I glad, there were lots of street vendors clustered around the tiny mall and pasar ( market ) over there. Once you walk over...
OtoBuses in Wonosobo, Indonesia

black_mimi99 Says: Bus from Jakarta can take from Pulo Gadung station, Lebak Bulus station, and Grogol Station (beware while in the jakarta bus station....)And also can take a flight from Jakarta to Yogya then from Yogyakarta to Wonosobo by travel bus.
bpacker Says: The most popular form of transport in Wonosobo is a mini yellow bus called an "Angkutan". It's more of a van with benches placed on them. A ride on these things cost about 2000Rp.%Where: Wonosobo, Central Java.
bpacker Says: Note:I have to thank the staff of Hotel Kresna for telling me patiently how to get to Solo from Wonosobo by bus. They came prepared with approximations of bus fares, travel tips and even a map of SOLO. I was impressed. I will forward their kindness and publish this tip....
bpacker Says: Note: Now, if you have any romantic ideas of travelling in Central Java by bus, don't read this. The honest crap that I've put up might dispel all the romantic notions you have and perhaps discourage you from taking an economy bus in Indonesia. If you still decide to go...

ukirsari Says: Wonosoban lingo just like other Javanese [central] lingo. The differences just about several words and not as soft as truely Jogjakartan or Solo style. A bit ngoko and madya [not high Javanese lingo type]. For me, it's easy. Just need to 'accelerate' several words into...
Gather among people on harvest
ukirsari Says: Harvest and national holidays on Wonosobo and several small town around like Parakan, Temanggung, Paponan, Diwek, Mergowati and Sukorejo means a festival. They will arrange an occasion in the heart of the city, so called alun-alun [city square] or in one of the villages and...

If you ever decide to travel like a local in Indonesia and take the bus, do bear in mind that like in any other Asian city, the driving habits are generally atrocious. Lanes are happily ignored and driving on the road shoulder is common. Accidents are not uncommon too. I saw at least one badly smashed bus enroute to Solo. The passengers were all unhurt but stranded by the side of the road.
Time also stretches when you travel on a bus. Always factor in one hour to buffer your journey as Indonesia is the land of jam karet ( ‘rubber time’). Many stops will be made in town to pack the bus to full capacity and this include human passengers, yowling babies, livestock and vegetables still fresh with earth. Stops will also be made for the driver to take a kretek(cinammon cigarette) or toilet break.
Perhaps the only saving grace is the bus fare. It'll only cost you a couple of dollars(usd) to travel 100's of km. Bring plenty of small change and pay the exact amount or risk paying extra. It helps to count in the local lingo.

bpacker Says: All around Java, you'll see remnants of Dutch Colonialism. The remote mountain town of Wonosobo is no exempt. This orange post box has dutch words and ancient Javanese script (hanacaraka) inscribed on it. Click the picture open to take a look at it. Note:Does anybody...
bpacker Says: Right in the middle of Wonosobo is a gigantic field. Now, it's used as a park for courting couples at night and for physical education in the morning! Here's an entire class doing their morning exercise.Where: Wonosobo, Central Java

Well, Wonosobo is a picturesque place. You can choose your own. Going trekking to tobacco plantation or climbing the mountain [Sindoro or Sumbing or both of them!!]
Equipment: Daily backpack with meals included. My Grandpa's and Daddy's fave for 'amunition' are brown sugar called Gula Jawa and diced coconut. It's high calories and give lots of energy in hiking and climbing :)
