As a Geophysicist, let's talkin' little more about the Seismicity of Jogja. Yogyakarta lies in one of the most seismically active parts of Java and has thus repeatedly been struck by earthquakes and volcano eruptions. The worst in recent times was the EARTHQUAKE of MAY, 27th 2006, which killed over 6,000 people and flattened over 300,000 houses. However, the epicentre was 25 km north of the city, which thus avoided the worst of the quake, and a surprisingly effective disaster recovery effort saw most of the physical damage repaired quite quickly.
Only four years later, in October 2010, the nearby volcano of MOUNT MERAPI erupted, spewing lava over nearby villages and killing 353 people. After rumbling on and off for two months amid fears of another KRAKATOA devasting the entire island, the volcano quieted down by December 2010. On past form, it'll be another 2-3 years until the next small eruption and 10-15 years until the next biggie, so pay a visit while you still can!
Alright, few days ago, i been there in Jogja, taking back my memories when 2011, last time i wasted my time by walking around Jogja.
