Along the way we had to cross a railway crossing.
Our coach had to stop one car away from the barrier, as the train is already coming its way.
But, we saw on the other side of the road, a car was trapped in between the railway line and the barrier.
"O MY GOD.....!!!!", I exclaimed in my heart.
KA...BOOM...!!!! here comes the train.
Our Jogja guide turned around and said that, it is a common sight in Indonesia. Somehow, in most cases the driver got enough time to manouver the vehicle sideway so that it is not hit by the train.
After the railway crossing my eyes were wildly looking at the local scene, such as sign boards and advertisement panels. This one here was in English and apparently sponsored by the "Stop Smoking"government orgainisation.It has a big footnote message in Bahasa Indonesia, which means,
"Smoking can caused cancer, Heart Attack, Impotency and bad effects on pregnancy and foetus."
One turn before we arrived at Hotel Saphir, we passed by another university but I only managed to catch the glimpse of its admin building.

It was quite a journey to the hotel, which is located along a busy street. 
It was an elegant 4-star hotel. A shopping complex is annexed to it, and has the same name "Saphir Shopping Mall", as the owner is the same.
After a refreshing bath my wife & I pop into the Shopping Mall to look for three-pin adapter to charge my Rikoh camera battery.
Adapter is one of the necessities if we travel with electronic gadgets that need charging, e.g. handphones and laptops.In this trip i had forgotten to think about that, and so now urgently looking for one, but couldn't find it. I asked around and was told that it is available in the supermarket at Basement 1, but, we were already late for pick up to dinner.
We rushed back to the hotel lobby where almost everyone was already assembled.
As usual there were still someone not ready yet.
Anyway, that delayed gave more time for our Qodariyah Travel owner to chit chat more things with the owner of the hotel, who had took his time to meet us. Possibly, I think his family stayed in this hotel too.
I have forgotten which restaurant we had the dinner and I had also missed out to take photo of the restaurant, but not the food.
After dinner we went to the Karita. Along the way I saw this Kopi sign board. It made me remembered my Noitre Expresso Swiss coffee that I left behind in my office.
Karita is a building housing clothings for Muslim ladies and men.
Of course ladies garments overpowered the men clothings, because ladies are more fashionable than men, even though at 50s & 60s.
Here in this picture you can see that they have almost everything a person need.
But don't ask me more because I don't know what is Mahar Parsel.
Here is Fitriah my travel friend browsing the Quran.
After spending half of our pocket, we went back toHotel Saphir and called it a day.
