The
past will not be forgotten. The calm and gentle atmosphere fills the grayscale
Malioboro. Every side of the town, you could feel the nature mixing with the
town folks. The wind breezed from the tree like the tranquility of this city. The
giant trees would protect you from the sun while you walked around. That was
the time when Malioboro was still an “untouched place”.
There
were no tall buildings by the road; there were only trees and many spaces for
pedestrians to walk on. It seemed as if they were not afraid to walk around,
because there were not many vehicles back then. It is so different with the
“current” condition where just with one wrong step and a car might hit you, and
you will end up in hospital or, even worse, graveyard. Or maybe you might get
the second choice, not get hit by a car, but have your leisure pastime of
walking around ravaged by the hawking of the vendors. You can call yourself
lucky if you could get home with your wallet intact in your pocket. 
Current
condition is not as grayscale as the past. Malioboro is colorful, too colorful,
filled by hundred colorful lamps, red, yellow, blue, green, and other color. It
seems like they are waving their hand to welcome you and saying “hey, I am
Malioboro Mall. Come here!” or just with another word to persuade you come into
the place. There is no longer grayscale Malioboro which looks like an “empty”
place full of peace and tranquility. This is a place for you to walk around,
for shopping, not for having relaxation just like what you got in pastime.
