My high school in Jogja. Jogja is a kingdom which is headed by Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono 10. Jogja is the Javanese culture. people are very warm-hearted, courtesy unbelievably upheld in Jogja. to live in jogja you simply meet and greet with the community and try to smile because jogja it be comfortable as her motto. the area is quite beautiful peaceful and prosperous peace. many expat Prawirotaman gathered in the area, there are many cafe bars and many other galleries. many people who worship at Hindu temple Prambanan. maybe it was that I could tell.

Thats the risk you take but I am pretty certain some idiot driving a car or bus etc will get you before a volcano will.

Indonesia is often due to geological Indonesian earthquake in almost by by three major plates, namely Eurasia, the Pacific, and Australia. Just think of the quake like you're on the dance floor. volcano eruption in Jogja is dangerous but many experts are already able to handle it so do not worry too much because you will be informed and evacuated when Merapi erupted. that they are always great in Jogja different mutual cooperation with citizens in Jakarta. for primary protection is still praying to god. heheheheeee

About the Mount Merapi, we don't know when it will erupt again, but don't worry about that, as long as you live more than radius 10 km is safe. You just have to prepare mask to protect from ash.
well I don't know about JIS, cuz I've never taught there, but I think it's good International school,they use international curriculum.

Sorry for late reply. Thank you so much Nagina for your help. It would be really helpful if I could get some information about Yogyakarta international school.

thank you adji_suryanto,
Great to know that Chennai people visit Yogyakarta often. Can you give me little bit more information on lifestyle especially public transport facility over there when compared to Jakarta. Heard a lot about Jakarta but have very little information on Yogyakarta. can we mange without any own transportation??

adji_suryanto

yes i have 3 client from Chennai, if you ever heard Sparsa resort in kanyakumari, i had supply a furniture and home accessories for them. yogyakarta is an international places, you could find people from many countries..some of them doing  business especially in furniture and craft,many Indian doing textile business and others studied because we have a many college/university so young people's from all over Indonesia even other countries came to yogyakarta for study. if you interested with art and culture yogyakarta is a right place. off course like other place there is a crime but yogyakarta is  more more save than jakarta. don't to worry about...most of yogyakarta people are kind, very simple and welcome with foreigner. we have a public transport (trans jogja) but I prefer take a taxi.. and my client sad the traffic isn't crowded like in chennai. so do you plan for a long stay and what will you do in yogyakarta?
