I just play around with my computer and open old pictures being taken recently. Suddenly this picture pop-up and my memory of this beautiful old town came back. This is my grandparents city who I always visited every year when they still lived there. Semarang is capital city of Central Java in Indonesia. It has classical building from dutch era,surroundings by beautiful mountains or hills and has lots of delicious foods and culinaries..People there are very nice and welcome and make we feel like at home.. This picture is Tawang railstation..This maybe the only one of Dutch Architechture building that still exist, they have improvement here and there but the original building still maintain.. So How about you? Have you ever visited Semarang? What do you think about this City?

I have been to Indonesia twice, to Java and Sumatra Islands. The city of Jakarta of course is very impressive. As you said, the people are very friendly and courteous. I heard about Semarang, but didn't get the chance to visit there. I was in Jorjakarta. That was a beautiful city too.

I have visited Sumatra in Indonesia but not Java just yet. I think that Semarang sounds a lovely destination. I adored seeing the steep roofed buildings and the classical Dutch architecture I found awesome. I like your photo of Towang rail station. It seems there are lots of worthwhile places to visit in Indonesia. I found the prices quite cheap too. I like the look of your grandparents city.
