Borobudur is an Indonesian's famouse treasure. It's built in the era of Dinasty Syailendra from Old Mataram Kingdom.
It's called as heart of Java.
Long time ago, when I was a little girl, I obses with the Mystic of Borobudur and the story behind this huge temple was built.
One I regret in my life that I supposed to be a arkeolog than a Farmer..(just kidding)
I'm happy you wrote about it...
