FRIDAY NIGHT - 5 FEBRUARY

Imogiri .. i can't imagine that i finally go there ... i thought ... it's good opportunity .. i was really there actually .. i don't know why i can be there at that night .. midnight ... everythings are without any plan or expectation.
Imogiri is a small village or a place where all the Javanese 'king' and there families to be buried .. so they called the grave for Javanese king. If someone will visit the grave, we have to wear a special costume for men and women. For a men, they have to wear beskap (special costume from Java), and for women, we have to wear kemben or dodot (also special costume for Javanese women).
At that night, i also have to wear the costume ... We visit the late Sultan Agung grave .. that's the first time i got opportunity to follow all rituals and went inside the 'cungkup'. I stayed and prayed inside for about 45 minutes ... very impress moment ... hopefully i can have another chance to come again ...
