Central Java

by kyoub - last update: Jul 4, 2005

We couldn't decide whether we should cancel or go ahead and go.
There were demonstrations and warning for US citizens not to go there at this time.
As you can see, we went and were so glad that we did.
The people could not have been more friendly than they were.
The temples were most interesting.
The scenery was breathtaking.

Helping hand

This young lady was studying tourism.
She was very helpful to me and tried to keep the sun off.
I hope she now has a wonderful job that she enjoys.

Enlightenment

Borobudur is a place of pilgrimage rather than of worship, a training center for those who wish to achive Enlightenment.

 Lovely Java page with excellent photographs! Java certainly is a great tourist destination. Borobudur and Prambanan Temples certainly look amazing. Thanks for sharing. We hope to visit the island of Java one day. ~ho & pang

 I'm glad to hear that everyone was so friendly, despite the demonstrations. That sounds like a very unique Sheraton Hotel where you can see one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
