Yogyakarta is one of the foremost cultural centers of Java, the seat of the mighty
Javanese empire of Mataram from which present day Yogyakarta has the best inherited
of traditions. The city itself has a special charm, which seldom fails to captivate the
visitor. Gamelan, classical and contemporary Javanese dances, leather puppet, theater
and other expressions of traditional art will keep the visitor spellbound. Local craftsmen
excel in arts such batiks, silver and leather works. Next to the traditional, contemporary
art has found fertile soil in Yogya's culture oriented society.
Yogyakarta is often called the main gateway to the Central Java as where it is
geographically located. It stretches from Mount Merapi to the Indian Ocean. There is daily
air service to Yogya from Jakarta, Surabaya and Bali as well as regular train service and
easy accessibility by road. Yogyakarta is commonly considered as the modern cultural of
Central Java. It is a very lively city and a shopper's delight. The main road, Malioboro
Street, is always crowded and famous for its night street food-culture and street vendors.
Many tourist shops and cheap hotels are concentrated along this street or in the
adjoining tourist area such Sosrowijayan Street.
The key attraction of Yogyakarta is 'Kraton' (the Sultan's Palace), the centre of Yogya's
traditional life and despite the advance of modernity; it still emanates the spirit of
refinement, which has been the hallmark of Yogya's art for centuries. This vast complex
of decaying buildings was built in the 18th century, and is actually a walled city within
the city with luxurious pavilions and in which the current Sultan still resides. Yogyakarta
is also the only major city, which still has traditional 'Becak' (rickshaw-style) transport

Dear Frodi,
It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for
your brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think the
illness was very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my
sincere and heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for
you always thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss
to myself, for your mother was always very kind to me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your
father, too. Please assure him of my sincere sympathy.
Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows we
are always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.
Your sincere friend,
Jean
