MALIOBORO YOGYAKARTA

History
Malioboro Jogja is a street name whose existence has been a long time ago. It is thought that the place was built around the 1750s. Well, the naming of this road turns out to have something to do with the name of the city of Jogja itself.

according to Lecturer of UI History, Prof. Peter Brian Ramsey Carrey, the original name of Jogja city is Ngayogyakarta. The name was inspired by a royal name in the book of Ramayana, namely "Ayodya". Javanese call it Ngayodya, so it sounds like "Ngayogya".

In the book too, there is one main street that is very famous. The road is the main road where the King and his guests are welcomed, and is an important road that has many blessings.

The name of the road is "Malyabhara". In Sanskrit, "Malya" means flower and "bhara" taken from the word "bharin" which means to be used. So how to use flowers (special paths).

Well, then the name was taken for the name of the road that is located close to the Yogyakarta Palace. Because of the influence of Javanese pronunciation where the letter "a" is read "o", it sounds like Malioboro.

When the start was built, the road was not immediately crowded. Is the Netherlands who pioneered it as a city center in Yogyakarta so it became crowded. Because they wanted to rival the popularity of the Yogyakarta Palace, the Dutch then built Fort Vredeburg and The Dutch Club in the 1800s.

As it became more crowded, the location of Malioboro became more strategic so that the Dutch built the house of the Dutch Governor on the road. That is a glimpse of the history of Malioboro Jogja.

There are several different versions of stories that appear in the community. Some say the name of the street is taken from the name of a British colonial named Duke of Marlboro. There are also those who say that the naming is based on the cigarette brand advertising board that was previously displayed in that place.

The truth about the two stories above cannot be ascertained yet. It's just that the story is unfounded and there is no scientific explanation in the form of evidence or supporting documents.

can you do in Malioboro Jogja ?

• photographed
• eat
• road etc

Now if you are interested in coming to Malioboro Jogja, there are some things you need to pay attention to, including :

Circle Tuesday Wage at your calendar. This is a clean clean day that causes street vendors and several kiosks in the place to be closed for 24 hours. Don't try to come unless you just want the photo with the asphalt.
Don't be lazy to make a way to compare the price of goods. Lazy surveys of targeted items will make you lose big, both loss of money and feelings because you feel sorry there are cheaper items. If you have a crush on an item, bargain politely 30% of the original price. If not allowed, immediately look for another.
Thank God, you also bring many friends who you can "empower" to survey goods at other kiosks.
When shopping at Malioboro shopping center, you should keep an eye on your luggage. More and more people, criminal risk is also getting bigger. Always put the bag in front. No problem with Doraemon, the important thing is safe.
If you want to experience a becak or delman ride, don't come to Malioboro Jogja during the holiday season. The price must be really expensive. If for example, you still want to go up, you want to bargain the price first. It was feared that some pedicab drivers or nosy delmans gave very expensive prices.
