After spending about 2 nights in Jakarta we moved to our next destination-Bandung.It is a good place for shopping.Clothes which cost rm 300 in Malaysia are sold for rm50 here.I bought a few for myself..thank god my ATM card was spoiled.
 |
Rice with beef soup.I had this for breakfast.Actually i noticed that soupy meals are common in Indonesia but in Malaysia it would be considered as unsual if someone is to have something hot and soupy for breakfast,for Malay i mean...but i know it is normal for Chinese in M'sia.Oh and one more thing,beansprouts will always present in soups here.Always.

This is called ice-cream potong(cut).I guess it's because it was made in a big block at first and later on cut into smaller pieces,which gives the name.I had it after the hot soup to cool myself down.It's red bean flavour and it's yummy!
|
After that off we go.It took about 6 hours from Jakarta to Bandung by a four-wheel drive.We reached there at noon,then did some shopping till evening.Then took a night train to Solo.
 |
Two bored girls at the train station in Bandung...
We reached Solo in the morning.As Solo is near to Borobudur we took the chance to visit the place.
When i was in Form 5 learned bout the ancient religions in the world and one of it is Buddhism.It never crossed my mind that one day i would have the oppurtunity to visit this temple.
Happy ribena kid
Erm...do u believe if i said that this temple was made using egg whites to join the pieces of bricks together? I don't too but that was what Nana my Indonesian friend told me... |
Inside every bell-like dome seen there,sits a Buddha statue.According to the locals,your wish will come true if u touch Buddha wholly with your hand through the holes.I didnt,though i had many to wish for....
Whoever they are,this people must have had a strong will and high determination to complete this.Imagining myself carrying all the bricks,climb to the top of this hill and then start to arrange them together..hurm.....
 |
This is what we were waiting for....It was really a breathtaking view to see a sunset from the top of this temple
|
I have a high respect for Buddha and his teachings but im glad that i've found my Creator,alhamdulillah...
to be continued......
On a brige.A long time ago,like hundreds of years ago this brige use to disengage to allow ships to pass by...
