Last holiday my students and I went to Jogjakarta. We stayed at Morison Hotel which is not a long way from
Malioboro. On Friday, we went to the sanctuaries in Prambanan. There are three major sanctuaries, the Brahmana,
Syiwa and Wisnu sanctuaries. They are truly stunning. We went by just Brahmana and Syiwa sanctuaries, on the
grounds that Wisnu sanctuary is being remodeled. On Saturday morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent
around two hours there. We were fortunate on the grounds that we were driven by a brilliant and amicable aide.
At that point we proceeded with our adventure to Borobudur. We touched base there at four p.m. At 6 p.m. we
heard the declaration that Borobudur entryway would be closed. In the evening we left Jogjakarta by bus.
