Last 2 years I was visiting Borobudur temple. It was a great temple and one of the biggest
Buddhist temples in the world. I had been there for 2 times and I still love to go there again.
The visit was a study tour agenda from the school. There we were accompanied by a tour
guide. While walking around he explained the history of the Borobudur Temple.

Borobudur temple was built in 9th-century in (now) Magelang city, Central Java, Indonesia.
That temple was built during the reign of Sailendra Dynasty as the symbolic monument
retelling the life of Buddha in which people can learn about Buddhist religion. The temple
was design in Javanese Buddhist architecture as the acculturation of Indian and Javanese
culture. Some evidences and theories suggest that Borobudur temple was disappeared during
the reign of Hindu kingdoms and Islam in java in 14th-century and the years after it. More or
less that is what the tour guide said. After giving an explanation, the tour guide gives students
the opportunity to ask him personally. Then I took the opportunity. Then I took the
opportunity and approached him.

Me : “Hello, sir! I'm Hilda.”


The Tour Guide : “Hello, Hilda!”
Me : “That was an interesting explanation. However, I am still curious about the
history of Borobudur Temple. May I ask?”
The Tour Guide : “Okay, what do you want to know?”
Me : “As you explained earlier, the Borobudur Temple had disappeared. How
did it happen?”
The Tour Guide : “It was disappeared because of the eruption of Merapi Mountain that
buried most of the surrounding area including Borobudur.”
Me : “Then what happened?”
The Tour Guide : “Because of that eruption then the temple was survived and untouchable
until in 1814 during the British colonialization, Sir Thomas Stamford
Raffles (the British ruler of Java at that time) got information that there
was a hill with carved texture.”
Me : “Can you explain more?”
The Tour Guide :”Sure. After that Thomas Stamford Raffles made a project to dig and clear
that area and after 2 mounts working the Borobudur temple was appeared.
But of course at that time the face of Borobudur was extremely different
from it appearance today. Since it was found the British government
restored that temple and continued by the Dutch government. The largest
restoration was undertaken by Indonesian government and UNESCO
between 1975 until 1982.”
Me : “I am impressed by your explanation. What an interesting explanation.”
The Tour Guide : “Thank you! Is there anything do you want to ask anymore?”
Me : ”It is enough. Thanks for your explanation!”
The Tour Guide : “You are welcome.”

After being satisfied with the tour guide's explanation, I and my friends went around the
temple while capturing the moment with a photo. Until finally the activity at Borobudur
Temple ends and continues the journey to the next destination.
