Philip Boas : The Other Story of Batik's artist

The assessment of listening and speaking for daily conversation class is interviewing with a native speaker. I with three of my friends (Erlin, Fitri and Putri) tried to search a native speaker in some places in Yogyakarta. The first place was in Taman Sari Water Castle Yogyakarta, I met Team from Liverpool England, the second place was in Vrederburg bastion, I met Joia Döerjinio from the north of Italia. But from both of them, I didn’t get some interesting topic, because the time was not so well to make interview, they were also little busy. 

Mr. Team and Miss Joia

 

Finally, I contacted my friend, he is foreign people who has been staying along in Jogja. His name is Philip Boas from Netherland. I know him because he was my client when I worked at TMC. I also often communicate with him by text message or e-mail. I made appointment with Mr. Philip to make an interview time. He didn’t agree that I will come to his house in a village, because he keeps sounds of neighbor that think negatively about him. So, he suggested coming to my home at 10 o’clock at morning at January 9^th 2012.

The Unique Cafe' of Raminten

In the front of Raminten

  The House of Raminten Restaurant & Café or people are known as Raminten is located in Faridan M. Noto Street Kotabaru Yogyakarta. Located is close to center of town, may be if we take it from zero kilometer we only spend 15 minutes except that traffic jump. From my house, if I go there I just spend about 20 minutes. Raminten’s building is beside of Mirota Bakery that is one company. The interior of Raminten is very cool, located in ancient house with two floors that is still well taken care. In front of the house there are some ancient carriages and it is become one of unique sides of Raminten. Except building, Raminten have other uniqueness, there are history of Raminten, food and drink menus in Raminten and atmosphere in Raminten.
