I lived in my lovely city Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta is well known as student city because there are many universities and schools. Also, the atmosphere is comfortable for studying. Beside student city, Yogyakarta (Jogja) is the best place to stay. It is also tourism city. The people of Jogja still keep their own culture. Several times after independence day, Jogja became the capital of Indonesia. Simple to say, Jogja is one of the biggest and most beautiful cities in Indonesia. So, there is no reason you don't visit Jogja if you'll go to Indonesia!

After graduated from senior high, I got the Russian scholarship. I studied in Irkutsk especially ISTU. I took oil and gas engineering. I loved to live in Irkutsk because there was so beautiful. This city also called 'Paris of Russia'. Irkutsk is the good point to go to the deepest and the oldest lake in the world, Lake Baikal. It takes 6 hours to reach Olhon Island. I just finished my study in Russia and now living in Indonesia as well.

Currently I live in Surabaya, East Java.
