not a traveler story (part 3)

day 3. Retno still had finals when I decided to stay at her house. When she asked where would I go today, I said that I am okay to walk around UGM, her campus. So, after she dropped me at Civil Engineering's parking lot, I went around her campus.. engineering monument (tugu teknik) a road to engineering faculty's motorcycle parking. I got lost here HA! I was surprised that the faculty of engineering is close to faculty of medicine. I came here just in case I could find a hot doctor to refresh my eyes :p faculty of forestry.

Sure we stopped at some rest areas to pray and get food and loo thingy, and we arrived at Purbalingga around 4.15 a.m.! Well that was quite fast because I thought it would be a long journey like the previous NOS to Solo (yea well of course it took a long time to go to Solo..). After Subuh prayer, we checked in to the hotel and my roommates were Ifa (again, yeay), Chintia, and Adel. We took a rest and went to the government office at.. around 9? or was it 10 a.m.? heh, I forgot. :p We went to the Purbalingga's government office because we wanted to learn how Purbalingga succeeded
