Jogja #2: Borobudur Temple

Exploring the seven wonders of the world. First up, Borobudur. An extraordinary site to visit, we had our mind set to go here while we where volunteering for church in Jogja. It was something we wanted to do, exploring all the majestic 7 wonders. Borobudur’s rich history takes this monumental establishment way back and the mystical religious insight was astounding. We figured out there are Buddhas in each side of the temple and each side the Buddhas make out different hand gestures.

Another fact that tore us apart, thieves often comes here at night stealing the blocks and sell it for a handsome price to artifact collectors. Some thieves replace fake blocks from the original, so if you see in the pictures here it may or may not be the authentic ones.

The second best part of the trip was finding these awesome hats, after a hardcore bargaining with the vendor we end-up buying it at 10 bucks each. Now thats a steal.
