mighty Javanese empire of Mataram from which present day Yogyakarta has the

leather puppet, theater and other expressions of traditional art will keep the visitor
spellbound. Local craftsmen excel in arts such batiks, silver and leather works.

oriented society.

is geographically located. It stretches from Mount Merapi to the Indian Ocean.
There is daily air service to Yogya from Jakarta, Surabaya and Bali as well as
regular train service and easy accessibility by road. Yogyakarta is commonly
considered as the modern cultural of Central Java. It is a very lively city and a
shopper's delight. The main road, Malioboro Street, is always crowded and famous
for its night street food-culture and street vendors. Many tourist shops and cheap
 hotels are concentrated along this street or in the adjoining tourist area such
Sosrowijayan Street.
The key attraction of Yogyakarta is 'Kraton' (the Sultan's Palace), the
centre of Yogya's traditional life and despite the advance of modernity; it still
emanates the spirit of refinement, which has been the hallmark of Yogya's art for
centuries. This vast complex of decaying buildings was built in the 18th century,
and is actually a walled city within the city with luxurious pavilions and in which
the current Sultan still resides. Yogyakarta is also the only major city, which still
has traditional 'Becak' (rickshaw-style) transport

A geyser is the result of underground water under the combined conditions of high
temperatures and increased pressure beneath the surface of the earth. Since temperature rises
approximately 1 F for every sixty feet under the earth's surface, and pressure increases with
depth, the water that seeps down in crack and fissures until it reaches very hot rock in the
earth interior becomes heated to temperature in excess of 290 F. Because of the greater
pressure, the water shoots out of the surface in the form of steam and hot water. The result is
a geyser. In order to function, then a geyser must have a source of heat, reservoir where
water can be stored until the temperature rises to an unstable point, an opening through
which the hot water and steam can escape, and underground channels for resupplying water
after an eruption.
Favorable conditions for geyser exist in some regions of the world including New
Zealand, Iceland, and the Yellowstone National Park area of the United States. The most
famous geyser in the world is Old Faithfull in Yellow Park. Old Faithfull erupts almost
every hour, rising to a height of 125 to 170 feet and expelling more than ten thousand
gallons during each eruption.
