Engaging in reading literature
문화적 배경
The 'Taman Bacaan' (Reading Garden) is a unique cultural institution where volunteers set up small libraries in their homes or parks to encourage literacy. Known as the 'City of Students', Yogyakarta has a very high density of people reading in cafes and public spaces. The first word revealed in the Quran is 'Iqra', which means 'Read'. This gives the act of reading a spiritual significance for many Indonesians. Reading is becoming a 'cool' aesthetic on Instagram (Bookstagram Indonesia), often paired with aesthetic cafe shots.

The 'C' sound
