On the second day of our stay in Borobudur in Magelang, Central Java (40 km/15 mi northwest of Yogyakarta), Indonesia, we did a sunrise tour at Borobudur. We all woke up at 4:00 a.m., so we all took a nap in the morning. The husbands kindly took our older children to a local restaurant for lunch for a change and adventure so that the wives could stay at our hotel, Saraswati Borobudur Hotel, and chill with the younger ones, but after they got back to the hotel, the husbands were tired again and took a nap. My son started fussing and I didn’t want him to disrupt my husband’s beauty nap. Plus, there is so much you can do in a hotel. So, I took him for a walk in a stroller. I strolled around on the street where the Saraswati Borobudur Hotel was located. I love peeking some local lives when I travel. Here are the photos of a few things I snapped during my short walk around the neighborhood.
Motorcycle Parking
Car Wash
Chicken Noodle & Indonesian Meatballs
Gasolin
Don’t leave me on a bench!!
My heart is aching for the people who lost loved ones and also for the people who were affected by the bombings happened during the Boston Marathon on April 14, 2013. It makes me very sad that the atrocity like that created victims among innocent citizens.
I like the Chicken Noodle sign~!!!!! looks like if it was taken from a comic strip XD lol
Thanks! I liked it, too and thought it looked artistic.

Hey I am Indonesian and I live near Borobudur, 15 minutes from the temple 🙂 Actually Borobudur is not part of Yogyakarta. It’s part of Magelang (Central Java).
But beside that technical things, I love this photo <3 thanks for visiting Indonesia
Thanks for your comment, Aning! I appreciate that you took time to write me to point out the wrong information I put! Your comment was very helpful. I have fixed the information. Thank you!!!
Hi:)
Thankyou for showing the world how beautiful is Candi Borobudur.
I’m an Indonesian college student and now I’m currently doing a mini research for one of the College final assignments here. I read your blog about the trip to Candi Borobudur 🙂 …
And your writing makes me even interested to ask you about some of your experience from the Candi Borobudur trip further more. If you allow me to do a short interview, would you mind to share any media that possible to have a short conversation? 🙂 Such as yahoo messenger, email, or any chat media? Or can I interview you via email?
If you reply my comment, It would be a great help for me. 🙂
Thankyou…
Thank you for your comment! Sure! I think the best is for me to receive questions via email. It’s probably easier on both ends. Please send me an email to my email address. chuzailiving{at}gmail{dot}com
