Jogjakarta trip
Day 2 - 29th April - Prambanan (Part 3)
On the way to Prambanan the bus passed an entire hill which was a Chinese cemetery. Before this I had been wondering where all the Chinese in Jogjakarta were - now I knew.
Someone asked if CWN and I were on honeymoon. I was tempted to reply that this would be one of the last places I'd choose for a honeymoon.
"Semen Gresik" (it's a brand of cement)
"KFC" - maybe it stands for "Kampung Fried Chicken"
"Bensin"
I was wondering why this fella was selling skulls - it's not like we were in Cambodia.
Reaching Prambanan, which we had walked to from the bus station instead of taking a Becak, we successfully managed to sneak our way to the locals' ticket line and paid 12,500 Rupiah for a ticket each. However, the bastards refused to let us in (asking to see our local ID), and forcibly refunded our ticket, then made us buy a 116,00 Rupiah foreigners' ticket.
Prambanan
Before and after the 2006 earthquake. Borobodur was undamaged. I think it's because of the mode of construction which made it more stable.

There were two open temples, but only one had an inner chamber with stuff inside. It was crowded most of the time, so I had to wait a while before getting the whole chamber:
