Jogja

One thing is very obvious once you arrive in Yogyakarta, known as Jogja, is that it loves it's street art. Everywhere you look the city has been painted, taged, and bombed. Filled with an endless array of characters; it's one of the best cities to just get lost walking it's side streets. If you've read this blog at all in the past you know I'm a sucker for a good peice of street art.

What I love about this expression of creativity is how it builds an even greater culture of artists. On one block you can walk past store after store of clothing shops, filled to the ceiling wth local start up street wear brands. I found this city nothing less than inspiring.

So fresh and so clean clean

With a city as clean as Tokyo it sorta makes you look for the dirty or grimmy side hiding away in the back alleys. Which honestly is even harder to find in the cities back alleys. So one day while walking around with our new friend Mendel from our hostel, I went searching for some street art. While I didn't find a lot of stuff I did find a few interesting peices which caught my attention.
