Highlights: hanging out with Anjas (temples + Merapi), hanging out with Nina (movie + Cheers)
Another former USINDO tutor & friend- Anjas- came over to pick me up this morning, and we went around Yogya visiting a bunch of the smaller Hindu-Buddhist temples that few foreigners go to see. (Sambisari, Sewu, and 2-3 others I can’t remember the names to…)
Many of them are half hidden; off the main roads in little residential areas, centuries old temples mixed in with neighborhood houses.
Many of them blend both Buddhist and Hindu symbols in the same temple complex. It’s interesting how much symbology these two religions borrowed from each other.
