short trip to Yogyakarta

25-09-2018
During junior high school, my school held an outing class in Jogja. I can't wait. I want to describe how beautiful Jogja was when I visited there and what the holy city of Jogja was like in general.

We arrived in jogja. surely in the first tourist know what we will visit?

 When could we forget the world renowned Candi Borobudur? And how couldn't we resist to list it in our itinerary? So, the first attraction that I visited while back was Candi Borobudur. However, Candi Borobudur is not exactly located in Jogja, the precise position of it is in Magelang, Central Java. It was originally built in the 9th century during the reign of the Sailendra Dynasty. The design blends the Indonesian indigenous cult of ancestor worship and the Buddhist concept of attaining Nirvana.

As we know, Candi Borobudur is the world's largest Buddhist temple. The Borobudur complex is tremendously vast and taking tour around there took pretty much energy in my body. According to Wikipedia, the temple consists of nine stacked platforms, six square and three circular, topped by a central dome. It is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. The central dome is surrounded bu 72 Buddha statues, each seated inside a perforated stupa.

  The next day, the journey we are waiting for will go to Mount Merapi in Jogja.It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. It is located approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi) north of Yogyakarta city with the peak as high as 2,930 m above sea level

We took an amazing and dusty trip around Merapi complex. Ranging from  Museum Sisa Hartaku, Makam Mbah Marijan, and Bunker Kaliadem. These places are not just hold some attraction it also buries a lot of valuable remembrances relating tragedies happened in the past. The authenticity of every item collected there. Furthermore, they got excellent scenery that I enjoyed every little thing I spent there. That day, all the events in Jogja were done, it's time to come back to Bandung. I was very happy to be in Jogja.

That day, all the events in Jogja were done, it's time to come back to Bandung. I was very happy to be in Jogja. I have been to Jogja twice, maybe this last trip to Jogja has become my favorite, because during the trip I spent with friends in high school.

Here are some moments that I took while there;
