Cool, nice island! It’s pretty hot for me, but I prefer much colder weather as a baseline. More than the heat though, the humidity is so heavy it feels like I’m swimming through the air.

Figure, though I have no reference how dry air actuality feels since it’s pretty much humid all year round.

There was actually an earthquake about 30 minutes ago here!

I didn’t even know that, the news says it’s pretty mild.

I like it! Monsoon season is my favorite season. Plus the people here have been so kind, it’s been a really positive trip so far.

Glad to hear that, the general consensus is we’re pretty friendly toward foreigner.

Got any food recommendations?

What have you tried?

The usual suspects for Yogyakarta is :

• Gudeg (Slow cooked Jackfruit, sweet/savory) Gudeg Pawon is the famous one.
• Sate Klathak ( Satay, griilled meat )the famous one is Pak Bari (Mr Bari) or Pak Pong
• Bakmi (noodles)
• The House of Raminten, local legend serve pretty much everything
• Angkringan, IDK how to describe this one, maybe it’s like Izakaya
• Bakpia, some kinda biscuit.
