A DAY AT BOROBUDUR TEMPLE - HOLY VESAK 2012


Back in late May, when I went to Borobudur temple in Magelang, Central Java with my friends, just to be a living witnesses for a holy Vesak day. Yesss, I know, the Indonesian movie called Arisan influenced us a lot, but somehow it is more than worth to had an experienced and witnessed by your own eyes, your own soul, not only seeing this in the newspapers or magazines or movies - and my suggestion, wear white, it gives you dramatic feeling, I was quite sad and regret, why I didn't wearing white clothes :p.

It was extremely tired that day, because my fligth derpatured at 5 AM from Jakarta, and arrived at 7 AM at Adisucipto airport, check in at the Hotel, met with friends at his Hotel because the starting point at his hotel, and had Mie Aceh for breakfast (?) and then around 10 AM heading to Magelang, spent all day in Borobudur (if you don't want waiting that long, you can come after lunch actually.. or if you are staying in Yogya, come in the morning, get lunch in Amanjiwo Resort and chills, ready for Waisak at night). Looking around, taking pictures, eat, sleep and the night awaits - a night for a peaceful soul.
