ISOTK Round 2 6 Stop: Sabi, Yogyakarta

The gate of Benteng Vrenderburg.

1403 Indonesian Sisterhood of Traveling Kimono (ISOTK) Round 2 6th Stop: Sabi, Yogyakarta

Wheeeee~ I squeal with joy when Mbak Sabi decided to participate in Indonesian Sisterhood of Traveling Kimono (ISOTK). I helped her with the kitsuke, decided what to wear for her and she complied without much fuss. I also helped her taking the pictures. We decided to go to Benteng Vrederburg (Fort Vrederburg). She got dressed there, added a black ribbon as an obijime and her self-made kanzashi as an obidome.

Note the ribbon obijime, the organza obiage and kanzashi obidome.

We took many pictures inside the fort itself and of course at the surrounding of the Fort. Then, I started to feel that someone was watching us. It was not until we took all our pictures that this security-like guy asked us to follow him to the office. They asked us what we were doing since the visitor shall pay some amount of money if it wasn't there just for casual visit in the Fort. If it was for pre-wedding shot, fashion shot or other commercial shot we really have to pay for it, but since it was for casual thing as for ISOTK  even though Mbak Sabi was all dressed up, we said that it was for Facebook album and nothing about commersial stuff. In the end we didn't have to pay at all. Not knowing this before hand, we then discussed that it will be find if we actually find other spot for taking pictures. Mbak Sabi did all the talk as I was easily panicked when I talked to the officer. It was not that we were doing something wrong or suspicious, but we were actually really doing a photoshot in dressed up mode :P.

A lot of cannons in the Benteng Vrenderburg.

Inside the Museum. There are a lot of diorama.

Bonus picture. Me grabbing Mbak Sabi and going to munch her. Recreating a scene from certain anime.
