WORLDWIDE | Monday, 23 April 2012 | Views [215] | Scholarship Entry

Starting in 2010 aug, I along with 01 pax of my class mates, moved to Yogyakarta. We already have a residence permit and license to practice in one of the travel agents in Jogja that we take care of one month in advance. Jogja is a beautiful city. Very beautiful of the Culture. Located In Java, Central Java exactly in, but it is a capital A special areas like the capital city of Jakarta as the capital of Indonesia dri. Why has the specificity, because Jogjakarta in its history when it was once the capital of Indonesia country that is currently turned into jakarta. Yogyakarta is an area that has its own government and the Sultanate Ngayogyakarta Pakualaman Duchy.Jogjakarta is a city located the south-eastern part of central Java island.City that has a million culture charm and typical foods, as well as its range of people who are so friendly. There wouldn't be boring if you dare try to live there in a long time, like me who have lived there for 6 months. My impression Unforgetable moment. By bicycle or rickshaw was an unforgettable impression. Bicycles are used to transport residents jogja already use to their everyday activities, such as to schools, markets, office or just to get around while sporting jogja morning / afternoon. In addition to bicycles, there is public transport like Bus Way if in jakarta, or as if on the Singapore MRT. There were no public transportation (public transportation) * carry that kind of car it fit 12 people Normal 0 false false false IN X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin-top:0cm; mso-para-margin-right:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:10.0pt; mso-para-margin-left:0cm; text-align:center; line-height:115%; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;}

Or even on foot, we can enjoy the beautiful city of Yogyakarta. Starting from the monument Jogjakarta, then the Presidential Palace, the Palace of Yogyakarta palace, and equally important is the famous Malioboro as its terms of Orchard Road in Singapore.

Many cheap and comfortable accommodation along this road. In addition, this road as a shopping paradise for lovers of fashion, especially batik, ranging from batik shirt, batik jackets, shoes and all related batik batik.Di this way, we can find food like mixing ginger and milk, it feels so good, his name is "Wedang Ronde". * must be tried.In terms of food, jogja belong to the city that has a low cost of living.There are rice and coffee cat jos Angkringan famous there. Angkringan is a kind of food stores that sell traditional foods jogjakarta. Besides That, Gudeg there is a typical traditional food known throughout Indonesia.

I really really miss the city of Yogyakarta, Jogja make me love bike, with its hospitality, jogja could make me more familiar with the crowed. 2 years I have not visited the city of Jogja, maybe in some time soon, I'll go Jogja city that changed my life.

This experience begins the real work practices used to my college. When the city of Yogyakarta is an option that I think is "safe". Safe because of the social aspects are very friendly people, then in terms of price for the various dishes are very affordable, and safe because both are still on the island of Java that is not in my opinion is not too extreme to fit in with their surroundings

In addition to its food prices are very affordable, Yogyakarta is a city that was relatively safe, as it was if a country is Singapore is famous for its security.
