Living and Working in Semarang
Semarang is a relatively small city in Central Java, with around 2 million people. It is on the northern coast, and the city moves from sea-level up until the foothills of large, dormant volcanoes! It is a very green city, and easy to get around, with plenty of indoor (dining and bars, sports clubs) and outdoor (trekking, camping, cycling) activities. Yogjakarta, and the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan, are a few hours away. Renown diving and snorkeling is a boat ride away at the islands of Karimunjawa.
