Read the following text to answer questions number 1 to 3.

Yogyakarta is one of the foremost cultural centers of Java, the seat of the mighty Javanese
empire of Mataram from which present day Yogyakarta has the best inherited of traditions.
The city itself has a special charm, which seldom fails to captivate the visitor. Gamelan,
classical and contemporary Javanese dances, 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. Next to the traditional, contemporary art has found fertile soil in
Yogya's culture oriented society.

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.

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.
