My kos is in a suburb called Karanggayam (ayam means chicken in Indonesian, so thats how i remember it)... the other suburbs around it are called Karangasem and Karang-other things, so its confusing lol. It doesnt take me long to get anywhere. I can walk through all the little streets and lanes to uni in about fifteen or twenty mins which is a really nice walk, away from the busy roads. This morning I caught a bus to the Jogja Plaza, where Im a member of the gym (and pool!) and a bus to uni so Im orientating myself a bit.
My room is really nice. Its quite big tho, for a bedroom, i feel like i cant fill it up! Its nice, Im on the outside edge of the building so i get a bit of sun (although that means i also get a bit of noise from the street on the other side of the fence, hard to avoid i think). Ive spread my mess around so it feels quite homely. The other girls are nice too. Theres a couple of other aussies living there (coincidence) and i walk to uni and stuff with them sometimes. Ive had a chat to a couple of the others too, a couple of indonesian girls, a german and a japanese girl... they all seem nice. Havent been locked out yet, not having that many late nights!
