"Hi! I’m Maqfirah Asrar from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and I recently spent 5 days and 4 nights exploring the incredible city of Yogyakarta. Jogja truly surprised me with its rich culture, warm hospitality, and endless adventures! From the majestic Prambanan Temple to the vibrant artsy streets of Malioboro, there was so much to see and experience. The highlight for me was trying out authentic Javanese dishes and exploring the unique traditional markets – it felt like I got a real taste of local life. My favorite is the chicken satay at Sate Ratu. Jogja is a city that feels like home with a hint of magic; I can't wait to come back!!!"
"J'ai passé neuf mois à Jogjakarta avec une famille d'accueil merveilleuse à Kotagede. C'était une expérience très importante pour moi, pendant que j'ai beaucoup appris sur le culture de Jogja. J'ai pu aussi participer dans plusieurs traditions comme faire du batik et chanter le keronchong. Je suis reconnaissant pour les gens qui m'ont accueilli, et j'ai déjà eu l'opportunité de revenir et leur rendre visite après que je suis partie!"
"Hello! I am Iqa Natasya from Singapore , my 6-day, 5-night trip to Yogyakarta was absolutely unforgettable and memorable <3
From exploring the majestic temples of Borobudur and Prambanan to wandering through vibrant markets and sampling delicious local cuisine, every moment was a highlight. The warm hospitality of the locals and the rich culture of the city made this trip truly special. I left with wonderful memories and a deep appreciation for Yogyakarta's charm."
"My experience in Jogja over the last 3 months has been so interesting and enriching. The people, food and some beautiful aeras to visit. I have always felt welcomed seeing people with friendly faces to the point of being requested for a photo, which I have encountered several times.
I am also so privileged to have chosen to do my placement with KKN, alongside other UGM students. This gave me an opportunity to not only do my placement but also to explore and interact with the village residents, which is a wonderful experience."
