If you have not seen this with your own eyes, you haven't been to Yogyakarta!
The Borobudur Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is believed to be the world's largest buddist temple located at the Borobudur District. It was built by Sanmaratungga in the 8th century and belongs to Buddha Mahayana. Believe me or not, Borobudur Temple was revealed by our very own Singapore founder, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, in 1814! Wow! All Singaporeans, you must visit this place discovered by our very own founder!!!
In total, there are 10 floors, with the top floor known as the "Nirvana". To reach there, you need to climb 1,000 steps. To me, it's like climbing 2,000 steps as each step is twice the height of the step in Singapore!!! *grin*
Also, it was believed that if you can reach into a particular stupa with the buddha, (for guys, you need to touch the hand and the ladies, you need to touch the foot), all your wishes will come true. So, that particular stupa is located on the east wind of the temple on the 10th floor! Check with the locals and they are able to tell you! Have fun!
