第1086期:Indonesia Islands

Danu: So Widuri, could you talk about another interesting place in Indonesia?

Widuri: Oh, Indonesia is also famous for its cultural heritage. One I can mention is Borobudur temple. Do you know that?

Danu: Borobudur temple?

Widuri: Yes.

Danu: I have heard about it. I heard the temple is a World Heritage site.

Widuri: Yes, it is. And this one, different with Bali. This one is for Buddhism.

Danu: I see.

Widuri: So it's very huge and you can see a lot of stupa there.

Danu: So this is a Buddhist temple.

Widuri: Yes, it is.

Danu: And roughly, how old is this place?

Widuri: Wow. I can't remember the exact number, but it is very, very old. We even make some –

Danu: Conservations?

Widuri: There are a lot of conservations for this place because it was destroyped before because of the earthquake. So I think this is very, very old. I can't even remember the name of the king who made this temple, but it's very old.

Danu: So this is a very famous place.

Widuri: Yes, it is.

Danu: Is it beautiful?

Widuri: Yeah, because the scenery around it is very beautiful. If you want to go there, you have to climb some hills. So the way there is very beautiful. You can get there via local car. You can rent a car and then you can enjoy the view first before you go there. Once you get there, you can climb all the temples up through the top and you can enjoy the view again.

Danu: Oh, it seems like a very nice place to go trekking as well.

Widuri: Yes, it is.

Danu: I see. So Widuri, so you talked about Bali and Borobudur.

Widuri: Yes.

Danu: Bali has a Hindu kovil and Borobudur has a Buddhist temple.

Widuri: Buddhist, yes. So different.
