TRAVEL DIARIES: Breathtaking Hyatt Regency Hotel

May 26, 2010

I am taking a break from Bali blogging, though I still have a couple more posts to go, because I can’t wait to write about our trip to Yogyakarta (also called Jogjakarta) a few of weeks ago. It’s not as popular as Bali, but it is home to the biggest temple in the world, the Borobudur temple. I was just tagging along on one of my husbands meeting. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency. Our stay was wonderful, although the food was not as good as we expected.

Dramatic entrance & welcome drinks by the reception

I am a minimalist, so I liked the simple but tastefully decorated room. The thoughtful little touches like complimentary fruit & box of chocolates made my stay.

Nice, spic & span bathrooms, with complimentary water for brushing. Though you don’t need it because they have a water filtration system so you can brush your teeth with the tap (Yes most of the time you cannot brush your teeth with tap in Indonesia). Toiletries were quite complete and in concealed in nice custom-made containers! (the O.C. in me was impressed)

Ample storage for clothes, accessories, shoes, etc. AND lots of hangers =P – VERY important when you’re dressing to impress!

Interior design & architecture was excellent. The structure of the building was inspired by Borobudur (but I wasn’t able to get a good pic). It was a great blend of modern facilities, minimalist aesthetics & cultural highlights. 

Everyone was talking about the breathtaking views of the golf course & great landscaping.  And the signature soothing sounds of Jogja is always a treat (and makes me feel like I’m in a spa).

It really is in the details.

My stay in the hotel was so serene and relaxing that I totally forgot about my Blackberry, laptop and all the other distractions I brought. How could I be bored with all that beauty to stare at and be quiet with?

    Hyatt Regency in Yogyakarta looks great! I hear so many good things about this hotel from many others, too.

      It really does have amazing interiors and architecture sweety. I loved our stay, even if the food (which is usually a big deal for me) is only so-so. I think I got full from the amazing beauty of the hotel. =P It’s not so bad though because our favorite restos in Yogya (SAWA for steak, Ikan Bakar Jimbaran for seafood, and Villa Hanis for Belgian fried chicken and desserts) are so nearby!

Every year I add a little bit more to my Halloween Every year I add a little bit more to my Halloween decor collection so it’s not so heavy on the wallet. I’m so happy with this year’s finds & make sure to carefully store them so they have many more years of use.

It was @diplobaby’s idea to add googly eyes to the bats. So we did it together! I love the one eyed bats 🦇 and I love it when we decorate together! Definitely one for the core memory banks! 👻🎃🤍

I was tickled pink coz people would pass by and take pics, stare or even tell me good job. 🎃 Halloween is really my favorite holiday!

What do you think of our Halloween prep this year?

I couldn’t stop laughing! It was still a little I couldn’t stop laughing! It was still a little too long for him this year but we sure got a kick from it.

DM me if you want to know where to order!

VILLAGE PUMPKIN CARVING EVENT Every year I look f VILLAGE PUMPKIN CARVING EVENT

Every year I look forward to this event for families in our village. We also invite our friends outside the village coz it’s so much fun for families. Parents and kids can come in costume. It’s done beside a fabulous park so kids can run around and play.

The pumpkins 🎃 might be overpriced (the bigger ones went from chf 18 last year to chf 23 this year) BUT it includes the free use of NIFTY CARVING TOOLS, waste disposal, clean up & cute decor that the organizers have provided.

We draw together. TD removes the guts. Then @diplobaby & i do the carving together with our son and it’s a controlled way of showing him how to use the tools in a safe way. Which is something I appreciate in Europe.

One year we tried pumpkin 🎃 carving at home and clean up was a totally nightmare. Never doing it again!

Then when kids and parents are are hungry we can buy food & drinks. 

We go home with a carved pumpkin 🎃 & don’t have to do the clean up. The pumpkin guts are also turned into soup by the organizers.

It’s also a good way for parents to unwind, catch up while the kids play in the playground. We usually see our neighbors here too.

It’s a win win for everyone & it reduces unused waste. I love it so much!

We never did pumpkins before coz it would rot@so fast in Asia. But i  the past 3 seasons of doing this I’ve learned so many tips and tricks for pumpkin 🎃 carving - especially how to prevent molds and insects. Let me know if you want me to do a separate post on that!

Hi guys it’s been a while since I’ve posted ab Hi guys it’s been a while since I’ve posted about our #DiploHome.

This is our BALCONY/TRASH SEGREGATION AREA.

Because we use it to entertain in SPRING & AUTUMN (too hot & too many insects in summer) I made sure that the trash segregation remains AESTHETIC by using white @ikeaschweiz SEGREGATION BINS.

So far SWITZERLAND TRASH SEGREGATION in our experience is even more complex than GERMANY but it has led to at least 50% RECYCLING rate which is pretty good, even though Germany still has the highest rate of recycling 66%

Let me know if you want to know more about how we manage trash in our village.
