Yogyakarta is one of big cities in Indonesia. When people come to Yogyakarta, they must go to Malioboro..
Malioboro in the past must be different with today. Actually i do not know what Malioboro in the past look like, but i just can give some description from seeing the picture.
The first picture is Malioboro in the past and the second is today. We can see the differences between them. Malioboro was still fresh, less pollution because there were still many trees. There were few big buildings and few street vendors. It is so different like today. Malioboro is more crowded because many people come there to enjoy the beauty of Malioboro, seeing performers or even just for shopping. Now, also many buildings such as malls, other places to get shopping and also many street vendors and it makes the street to be narrower.
In the past there were many traditional vehicles such as Dokar, Andhong and Pedicab. Dokar is a term used for the horse wagon with two wheels and Andhong is used for the same wagon but with four wheels. There were not many transportation like today such as bus, cars and also motorcycle. So that's why there were not much air pollution, so people could still get fresh air and also the environmental was still clean. However there are many transportation now and it makes more pollution because of the fumes. People also get difficulty when they want to across the road because many transportation like cars, motorcycles, bus, etc which are passing on the street and it makes they are worried and afraid if they will get hit by the transportation. If we go to Malioboro, we also can see if there are not many traditional vehicles such as Dokar only there are few Andhong and more or less pedicabs which are available there.
I cannot say Malioboro at that time look like more traditional rather than today. Traditional and modern are two different things. I cannot say this is traditional or modern because it depends with time. If we compare now and the past, we can say "now" is more modern rather than "the past" but if we ask other people who live since in the past, they may say if it would be also modern.
Everything must have differences. It happens over time. Beyond of it, Malioboro is still attractive to make other people from everywhere even other countries come and visit Yogyakarta because Malioboro is one of the icon of Yogyakarta and there are special things that make Malioboro different with other places. There is no Malioboro in other places only in Yogyakarta, so come and visit Malioboro and you can get what you want there.. :D
