Two months after a visit to Central Java, I am left with vivid memories of a place that abounds in natural beauty, where the greatest monuments of the ancient world still stand proud — the 9th century Buddhist sanctuary of Borobudur, and the Hindu temples of Prambanan built between the 8th and 10th centuries.

Yogyakarta (pronounced “Jogjakarta”), located centrally in Indonesia’s most populous island of Java, is a destination that hardly ever figures on most Filipino tourists’ itineraries. Well, probably because it would take you forever to reach the place.

YOGYAKARTA, Indonesia – Flying east across the Java Sea on the way to Bali, everyone on our side of the plane cranes to get a better look: an angry-looking plume is rising above the cone of Mt. Merapi. It is a majestic thing, and watching its slow fuming should make any thoughtful observer living close by consider packing up and moving far, far away.
