Beloved Yogyakarta
Yogyakarta, the town where now I am living in, is truly an attractive town. It's so romantic, and cultured. Calm, and lovely.
It has beaches, and so many other places to visit.
Here, we can find many kinds of souvenir, and eat specific food. We'll eat them by sitting on the sidewalk without chair, and watch people pass by along Malioboro street.
At night we can go to alun-alun (town square), and drink wedang ronde - a kind of drink made from hot water, sugar, ginger with bread slices, peanuts, and rice flour balls in it-, while listening the singing-beggars (the street musician) sing. Even, we can ask them to sing us songs we want to listen. Isn't that interesting?
Furthermore, the glory of Yogyakarta Sultanate, which still exists in the heart of its people, brings another attraction to the visitors. The charismatic king, and the noble monarchy certainly raise curiosity for those who visit Yogyakarta.
There are still Kota Gede; where we can buy things made of silver, Borobudur temple; the largest Buddhist temple in the world, Kaliurang; where we can spend the night in romantic silence, and drink teh poci - a specific traditional tea served in a pot made of clay-, Pujokusuman; where we can watch a kind of puppet show (wayang orang) that is presented in English all night long, Sasono Budoyo; a place where we can watch a shadow puppet show presented in Javanese, Ramayana Ballet Show; which is performed in Prambanan temple area, illuminated by a romantic, sentimental moonlight, and Parangtritis beach; a beach famous of its myth of a very beautiful, charming sorcerer Queen of the South Sea kingdom (a supernatural kingdom).
Along the sea shore, we can also enjoy riding andong (a traditional horse-cart) and letting the sea breeze caress our mind.
There are still many beaches, where -maybe- we can enjoy our sunbath, because these beaches are not as crowded as Parangtritis beach.
There are so many good reasons to visit Yogyakarta, and just as many to come back over, and over again.
So many foreign visitors come to Yogyakarta, because of their interests in knowing about the way of Yogyakartanese live their lives their own ways, traditionally.
So, if you've decided to come, and spend your next holidays in my beloved Yogyakarta, it will be my pleasure to guide you around here.
I bet you'll never feel sorry for coming here.

The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner
There are four major characters in the novel, namely the four Compson children. They have different characters and characteristics. Benjamin Compson is an idiot who is attached to his sister Caddy. Quentin is loving and bright, yet so obsessed with his sister Caddy that he commits suicide. Jason is a bitter, angry, and selfish guy. The last is Candace Compson (Caddy). She is gentle, caring, but lost.
