My Reasons to Move to Yogyakarta

Everybody has reasons to do an activity. I do. Moving to Yogyakarta was my big dream. I have many reasons to do it.

First, living cost in Jojgakarta is cheaper than in my hometown, West Borneo. When I studied in Sintang, a city in West Borneo, my parents and I usually counted my living cost. After we did it, I know that my living cost, especially my education cost, is very expensive. Then I knew from my brothers who studied in Jogjakarta, the living cost in Jogjakarta is cheaper than in my hometown. For example: if you buy some clothes by paying Rp30.000,00- here, you will get them by paying Rp60.000,00- in my hometown. If I can buy some food by paying Rp4.000.00- here, you will not get it in West Borneo. If I can stay in a boarding house by paying Rp300.000,00- here, I am to pay Rp500.000,00 there.

Second, Jogjakarta has many good universities, for example: UGM, UNY, and Sanata Dharma University. They have a great name in my hometown! Many people believe that the best person is graduated from UGM, UNY or Sanata Dharma University. I usually hear that I can get a job easily, if I study there. It seems that your family will be proud of you.

Third, my other reason is I want to get many new experinces. It is too small and narrow, if I only stay and study in a city in West Borneo. It seems that I will be a frog in a box. Sometimes I hear that people who live in Java are smart and educational people. Hey, I do my dream and I am very happy. Now I don’t only  hear about Java and people who live there, today I can talk, look, hear their voice and touch them. You can change your old vision, if you know the fact.

When people have gotten their dreams, they are happy. Today I have made my dream come true, and I am very happy! I will try to make the best for me and my family.
