While you enjoy food, street musicians will be approaching you and play their simple music, it is not a 'pro bono' action, you may give a charity to them. Like it or not you would also find murals in every space in the city, commercial ads from viagra, cigarettes, cars, homes, not to mention political ads. They're all mixed and vibrate the city of Yogya. Bon Voyage !!!
