Jakarta-June14-C

I'm in a mini dorm room now trying to chug water to drink off a dehydration headache. I think my body knows when I'm traveling and gets by on less food and water and spotty sleep, but its starting to catch up now. Travel days are just hard and I can't wait to get to Yogyakarta where I'm staying a few days. After my 14 hour flight to Tokyo, my overnight airport stay and 7 hour flight to Jakarta, I was planning on trying to catch a bus to yogya that same evening. Unfortunately, the visa area was a complete disastrous mess. No one knew where they had to go, there was no line control and people were cutting and trying to push past other people.

I took the DAMRI bus to the Gambir train station realized that if I took a night train, I would arrive at 4 am in Yogya and decided to stay at the 6degree hostel that some other tourists were staying at.

I always make some sucky mistakes at the beginning of travel.  Now looking back, I totally should have taken that over night train.  I also grabbed the first taxi and got totally screwed on the price.

6 degrees was full so I stayed at the next nearest which was new quiet and empty called the Old Botovia.  It was perfect and I only had to share my cubby room with one other guy who was hardly there but very nice.

I still havent found found and i think its been 48 hours since ive had a meal.  And you will not believe what my first meal ended up being...
I arrived at the train station early with a lot of other backpackers to go to Yogya and I found, Krispy Kreme and Starbucks!!!!!

Airport food=me going hungry

Just couldnt do it
