Borobudur is the world's largest Buddhist temple - a status it has probably held since its construction was completed about 1150 years ago. But for most of the temple's life it was buried under ash and hidden by jungle growth in this portion of Indonesia's East Java province.

It Located in central Java Province Indonesia Country.Today the world's largest Buddhist temple is a national treasure in the world's most populous Islamic nation. A $21 million restoration program between 1973 and 1984 returned much of the complex to its former glory and it is now a reminder of Java's past splendor and one of the nation's leading tourist draws.

The temple was the work of the Sailendra Dynasty. The Sailendras are thought to have come to Java from Southeast Asia's first important kingdom,Funan, when Funan's hold on mainland Southeast Asia was brought to an end in about A.D. 550. King Vishnu began Borobudur in A.D. 778; His grandson, Samaratunga, complete the site in about A.D. 825. The beauty of the structure is attested to by the huge number of photographs of Borobudur available online. Art trips to the temple site are common. If you have the opportunity, go to Borobudur is worth seeing...

European Islands

What comes into your mind when somebody says "Europe"? Whenever another person says this word, we immediately think of cold weathers and infinitely grey skies. Not just this, we also picture out medieval castles, very beautiful natural sceneries, and of course, Royalties. How about age old literature, time tested arts, and ageless music? As what they shout in a game of darts, "Bulls eye" is the term to say.
How about picturing out islands? I only have two places that I'm sure are European islands: the British isle and Avalon. All thanks to King Arthur and his knights, for without them, most people wouldn't know that such kind of geographical piece exists in Europe. Here's a geographic 101 for you, Europe may be a continent but it has a lot of islands spattered all over the place, mind you.


So now, if you are planning to vacationl to Europe, try to include getting to its islands, better yet, visit the best European islands. Before I tell you what the best isles in the continent are, let's cite first the big difference between European islands from those found in the Pacific and Atlantic. First is the climate. Due to the geographical location, they don't have the tropical climate. Instead, expect moderate to cold climates, so don't bring ultra light clothes.
See, Europe is more than just what you think it is. It offers you a world of adventure and experience.
