BOROBUDUR

Came back from Yogyakarta last night after a 2-days conference on social democracy. The direct flight by AirAsia departs daily at 4 pm local time so i have a couple of hours free in the morning. A few local Indonesians whom we met at the conference brought Janice Lee (SA for Teratai, Selangor) and I to the famous heritage site of Indonesia - Borobudur. The place was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site about 30 years ago. It is a Buddhist monument constructed in the 9th century! It is located between Jogja and Magelang in Central Java. It was about an hour drive from Jogja.

Well, it was an interesting visit and it is a nice place to go for heritage lovers and avid photographers. Some pictures taken by my little N95 to be shared with you here :)
For those who are interested to know more about the place, just go to Google and type "Borobudur". Read more!

Rested at home during the Raya break and is now back into action. Hope everyone had a good holiday and "interesting" period is going to begin soon with Parliament resume on Monday!

Would like to share some pictures of Guangzhou at night with all of you. Just one word to describe the few cities i visited in Guangdong province - magnificent! Read more!
