Sultan Keraton

Visited the sultan's palace in Jogjakarta. It's an area open to public. Several hundred people "serve" the sultan there, and in return the sultan provides them with housing. They don't actually serve him, it's more of a tradition. They basically live there and do something for living: create batik (traditional Indonesian clothes material), sell it, guide tourists, etc. Sultan has his own army too. Here are some snapshots.
