My highlighted recommendations in Yogyakarta (English Version)

“Harry, when we are in Yogyakarta (YK), where should we go and do you have any recommendation restaurants/cafes?” some friends sometimes ask me those questions. They knew that I lived in Yogyakarta even only for about 3,5 years (July 2002 to November 2005), so they would think that I would able to recommend. Honestly, when we live in a place, we tend to follow the rhythm of life there rather than visiting the sights and attractions offered (eh bien, at least that was what I ever experienced). Moreover I lived there for my job and still got to work on Saturdays even only until lunch time. Eh bien, for you, readers, I will try to give my best highlights of sights, attractions and restaurants/culinary recommendations in Yogyakarta which I have already visited and not (recommended by my friends).
