exploring prambanan temple

25 AUGUST 2018

At last! We're going out of town to explore the beautiful place of Jogjakarta. Ms. Girindra fetches us at Wisma Tamu with Yaya, one of our buddies, early in the morning. Yaya created an itinerary of the different places that we're going to visit. Unfortunately, Ms. Girindra could not join us in visiting those places because she has a different agenda to attend to at Jogjakarta. So, we were with Yaya for the whole trip. The first place that we visited was the Prambanan Temple. At the first glance, the temple was stunning with its intricate designs and layered rocks. They say that this temple was built because of a love story of a prince who wanted to marry the princess. But, guess what? In order to prove his love, the princess asked the prince to build 1000 temples overnight! After a night, the prince and the villagers were able to build 999 temples. But, you know where's the 1000th temple? The prince said that the princess was his last temple. So cheesy, right? Does anybody want to create a movie on this?

You might be wondering why there are so many rocks in the area. Back in 2006, there was an earthquake which destroyed some of the temples. It was really a terrible disaster, but thankfully the sturdiest temples are still up until now. Nevertheless, the view is still amazing, and that, the destroyed temples make you feel like its bringing you centuries back.
