Living in yogyakarta

         I like to live in yogyakarta because of three reasons. The first is jogja is a special town. The second is the environment is suitable to the student. The last is the food in jogja is very good. It’s the reason why I like to live in jogja.  

         

            Yogyakarta is a Special Province, reporting directly to Jakarta rather than to the Central Java government. It stretches roughly from the base of Mountain  Merapi to the Indonesian Ocean. North of the city are mountains and nature, while south of town are stormy seas shrouded in legend. The city, affectionately called “Jogja”, is best known for its cultural attractions. Jogja have  ancient Buddhist and Hindu temples and monuments.  Jogja is the second largest tourist destination in Indonesia. A smallish university town, Jogja is a delightful mixture of past, present and the future.       

       Teeming with students, Jogja enjoys a relatively slow-paced lifestyle that residents and tourists find endearing. It’s cooler than Jakarta because instead of high rise buildings and cement  mountains, beaches, caves and rivers are all around the city. Also known as Indonesia’s primary education center, Jogja is home to a multitude of academies, colleges and universities, including Indonesia’s oldest and largest, Gadjah Mada University and ISI, the arts university.      

        A city of students looking for cheap meals, Jogja is filled with lesehan-style eating spots that pop up on the sidewalks just before dusk. Seating is on floor mats, and they serve everything from noodles to steaks. Street musicians often provide impromptu entertainment in exchange for coins. The specialty of Jogja is Gudeg, which is made from young jackfruit and served with egg or chicken.    

      The conclusion is jogja is not only special as a town but also special in their people. Jogja has much uniqueness than other city in indonesia. So it makes me love to live in jogja.
