Wonderful memories of the great culture in it's solemnity bears the loving spirit forever..."
That's what I can say about Jogja, my beloved hometown. In there I was born and enjoyed my childhood very much. Being educated as a Javanese boy I feel the love to the traditions and the heritages of my country. I feel the aura of spirituality and religiousity. There's a kind power to live the spirit. Living apart from my motherland has risen all wonderful memories of the city and the richness. The miss of it has driven me to live it.
Javanese culture which takes orientation to the royal traditions and culture has become the spirit of all Javanese all over the world. Jogja and Surakarta are the most centrums of their traditions and culture, and they bring the spirit wherever they are.
Above is the picture of Tugu (a memorial building stone) of Jogja. That's an icon of the city. Actually it's one amongst another three in the constellations of royal and sacred sites of Jogja: Mount Merapi - Tugu - Sultan Palace - and Indian Ocean. There's a virtually straight line connecting the sites. Mount Merapi is in the North while Indian Ocean in the South. When you come to Jogjakarta - Indonesia, you'll see the Tugu which place is near the Tugu Train Station. So, welcome to Jogja, "The never ending Asia"! [skd]
