Purwokerto

1 min read
Purwokerto is one of the main city in Java Island, not too big but not too small either. The first impression when I got there was "this city is old". 

Compared to Yogyakarta, this city is still developing, not too many high building around here. The weather is still fresh and rather cold compared to my hometown. Some say that this is a city of heros, I suppose it must be related to General Soedirman, The university I'm in right now is named after him to honor his struggle to defend Indonesian freedom.
Soedirman
Jendral Soedirman
People also relate this city as the retirement city. It is because a lot of old people who already had done their part live here. Not only that, there are a lot of old building from the Colonial Era around here, but lately some these historical building got smashed for the sake of city development, what a shame. It is important to remember our history because it's thanks to the people before us that we can be free right now
