15. 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
