It was the first time I've been to my Grandfather birthplace, Kutoarjo. A small village in southern of Java. I went there by train. it took about 9 hours to go. Me and my Grandparents going on the train at 6 AM.

9 hours past and I can't see anything outside from the window. it's dark cause it's still 3 in the morning. The train arrived at 4 AM, The station was crowded and the villagers was also begin their activities. I took a bus about 15 minutes to go to my Grandfather house. The wind blow in my ears as I breathe the fresh air. The sun is rising as I arrive at my grandfather house. A medium size of house with simple and tidy garden. purple and red flowers blooming in the garden. I can see the sunlight and everything seems brighter than before. I took a walk around and saw big rice fields just wide and big green carpets. Grandfather said that I need some rest cause that night we're gonna going to the main city.
It's was 8PM, me and my grandparents going to the city. we went for a walk, find some dinner and enjoy our lovely night.

on the next day, We're going to Borobudur temple. It's one of the 7 wonders of nature. we're going there buy a car. on our way, I met a woman who sells strawberries and a child who sitting next to her. I bought some strawberries from her and it was perfect. It's perfectly nature without any chemical things. on our way I met Americans, they're riding a motorbike. they're also going to Borobudur like us. I never knew that foreign people love to ride a motorbike.

Finally we arrived at Borobudur temple, it was really huge and also crowded. but that's not gonna stop me for climbing up there cause someone believe that If you could touch the statue inside of it. One wishes like come true. I don't know some believe it and some won't. who knows?
