Yogyakarta is located in Central Java but not in the province of Central Java. it has its own province which is D.I Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta is one of tourist destination in Java. This city isnt far from the city where u can find the greatest Buddha temple in the world(Borobudur). Theres also a well known beach close to the city, dat is Parangtritis beach. U can find an old palace in this city completed with ancient accessories, vehicle and weapons dat u can see in the palace. For those who love history and ''something related to museum'', this is the right city.
This city has its own special food, dat is Gudeg. ''Bakpia Pathok'' is also famous, its kind of food which contains soybean inside. But becareful, since this city is famous of this food, u can find so many Bakpia producers here and u have to find the right information to get the best and original shops. Another thing which is very well known from this city is Batik clothes. its colth with either stemped or handmade ornaments on it with typical java. If its handmade, then it will be very expensive. So many western people love this art. U can take a look the city by using a public traditional tansportation called Becak (the drivers may take u to a longer route so dat u will pay them as high as they expect, so becareful). Then u also have to visit the shopping center area in this city called Malioboro. its the place where u can find cheap souvenirs for u to bring to ur country. For your information, if you come from outside Indonesia, u have to becareful in bargaining the price of the products. They may increase the price out of its normal price because u r international tourists. So try to bargain the price 1/3 from the price they offer u. Well maybe for some of u, using Rupiah ( indonesian currency) is ''nothing'' because our currency is not so good. If u use dollars, euros or poundsterling, u may think that the price in indonesia is good already according to ur budget. But if u can bargain the price in Indonesia very well, then u still can use ur money for some other things. :)))))

Try writing in proper English instead of the annoying text like abbreviations - "you" in instead of "u" and "your" or "you're" instead of "ur", "are" insread of "r" and never "dat" instead of "that". It just looks a bit sloppy to use text speak when the Queens English is so much better :0)
