Highlights: trip to Semarang

Semarang is the capitol city of Central Java. It’s a major port city, and a hub for goods exported from / imported to Java. It’s pretty far off the beaten tourist path however. I only saw a little of the mountainous southern half before it got dark.

It’s impressive how different home construction is here when you look at the banks of the river, with small, simple homes and warung clustered along its banks.
