Candi Gedong Songo




Second day in Semarang we visited the complex of Candi Gedong Songo (temple of 9 buildings). We got Pak Dwi as our temple expert. Pak Dwi is an archeologist at the university in Malang. His knowledge about all those temples is unbelievable. He knows the details of each temple. Why are most temples located on the mountain area, the different between hindu temple and budhis temple, the different between temples in east java and temples in central java. Siva temple, Wishnu temple, brahmana temple. Everything. Just to explain about one temple and its relief, he needed more than 45 minutes. Can you imagine the time we had to spend for 9 temples in that area? But the group was only able to reach until the 4th temple. Ella irev and I could actually still until the 9th temple. but unfortunately the rest of the group could not stand it, so we stopped at no. 4 (with mo i would have reached all those temples hihihi-yeah right fida, u were always complaining when walking to a castle heheheh).

    Hi Reem,

    it is in Semarang. I have also never thought that Semarang has many beautiful views. And one day I will visit Jordan. Maybe next year when I go for umrah together with my friends or two years from now. Who knows Reem, I am still single so still have much time for traveling heheheheh.
