Yogyakarta is a city that is often regarded as an area
that became the cultural center of Java. Culture is arguably full of myths that
developed and of course, already hereditary told by the people around. In
essence, we not want to invite you to think irrationally or forget the rules
that we have adopted. This article can be used as a bedtime story like the
tales in childhood.
Hugging Tugu Jogja
This myth has grown among students either since when.
Many students believe this ritual will ease they study and soon became a
scholar. Tugu Jogja was originally named Golog Milling. White monument is
located right in the midst of major intersections, one of which direction to
Mangkubumi road leading to Jalan Malioboro. The location is very close from
several universities in Yogyakarta. So do not be surprised, usually at night
when many young people are taking pictures cheerfully around Tugu Jogja.
Drinking water in Selokan
Mataram
If you live in the north or east side of Jogja certainly
very familiar with the appearance of a large water channel called Selokan
Mataram. Sewer passes a lot of dormitory area began in Pogung until in
Babarsari. Myths are if students drink Selokan Mataram water, then once you
leave the city of Yogyakarta, someday will definitely be back and will always
continue to go back to Yogyakarta. It could be because it can match the natives
jogja. This myth is evolving because the first Selokan Mataram is the area of
public baths and many students fall in love with people who bath in the Selokan
Mataram. But now that is no longer used as public baths, so the myth may no
longer apply.
