Jalan Malioboro, the main street of the Javanese capital, is busy from the morning till very late at night. This is the meeting place of students, tourists and street salers. You will walk there, jalan-jalan, without specific target, only to enjoy being together, to make some shopping or to eat in a warung (small mobile station to eat javanese foods). In the evening, the street salers invade Jalan Malioboro, this is a good opportunities for tourists and students to spend few hours walking, drinking, eating and shopping as well.
