Borobudur is a ninth-century Mahayana Buddhist monument in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument comprises six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues.
A main dome, located at the center of the top platform, is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues seated inside perforated stupa.
The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims begins at the base of the monument and follows a path circumambulating the monument while ascending to the top through the three levels of Buddhist cosmology, namely Kāmadhātu (the world of desire), Rupadhatu (the world of forms) and Arupadhatu (the world of formlessness). During the journey the monument guides the pilgrims through a system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief panels on the wall and the balustrades.
No, I don't read these books for fun. I'm not THAT much of a nerd.
We actually had our Java exam the next day, and I had forgotten probably half of the material, so I did some intense studying.
Luckily this is the only exam I have to take this semester.
Didn't have too much time to devote to the picture today due to the studying.

Street in the heart of the Dutch colonial old town of Surabaya, with its Dutch colonial architecture. Specifically here Chinatown.
Surabaya was already a significant port of the Hindu Majapahit Empire (13th century to 1500s), whose capital was nearby. It was also one of the first ports on the North Coast of Java to receive significant Islamic missionary activities. In particularly, the Sufi saint Ampel from the 15th century was famous for spreading Islam from here to Java. After the fall of the Majapahit Empire, it became part of a Muslim Javanese successor state, the Mataram Sultanate. The Dutch, who slowly colonized Indonesia from Batavia/Jakarta, conquered it only in the 1750s. Soon, however, Surabaya grew into an important colonial port exporting sugar cane and tobacco from the interior.
The Dutch colonial Surabaya was divided roughly in 3 to 4 neighbourhoods: the walled Dutch town, Chinatown where the Chinese traders lived, the Muslim Ampel neighbourhood to the north, which had also an Arab community, and the old Javanese neighbourhood to the south, a remnant of the pre-colonial town.
In this street, houses from the 18th to 19th century are preserved, in a Dutch tropical style. Around the corner, splendid Art Nouveau, Art Deco, ecclectic and early modernist buildings are abundant.
Surabaya was the birthplace of Sukarno, the first president of Indonesia. Surabaya was one of the first cities in the Dutch-East Indies to proclaim independence from the Dutch in 1945, after the Japanese occupiers left. This history is still much celebrated in town.
Today, Surabaya is the second largest and most important city of Indonesia and is a modern city with much history preserved. There are lots of young people who are stimulating a vibrant coffee culture, with local Indonesian Arabica beans.

The lovely Java Macaque is a very intelligent primate that lives in a complex social structure. These social animals are normally found in trees, though sadly, their preferred habitat is being lost to deforestation.
Java Macaques frequent agricultural areas and forest edges. It has also been found near aquatic areas, and is an adept swimmer. Java Macaques are active in daytime, and spend most of their time in trees. They live in groups of about 30 animals, and communicate through facial expressions and posturing. These groups do not usually tolerate other groups, and fighting or aggression may result at the meeting of two troops. A dominant male, who is often the only permanent male member of the group, leads each group. He, however, may be replaced if a wandering male is able to depose him. Wandering males go from group to group, and may replace other males of various social rankings through fierce tussles. Female Java Macaques remain in the groups they were born into for life, inheriting the social rankings of their mothers. They commonly groom each other to maintain social ranking and social bonds. Java Macaques eat mostly fruit, though their diets are supplemented with insects, bark, buds, shoots, flowers, grasses, leaves, seeds, sap, and gum. Often, food may be stored in cheek pouches while more is collected.
Female Java Macaques are usually smaller than males. While females weigh about nine pounds, males weigh around 13 pounds. They are 16 to 18.8 inches long, and their tails add an extra 20 to 24 inches. Every Java Macaque has deep cheek pouches, which it often uses for food storage. It is covered in grayish to reddish brown hair, which fades to lighter shades on the undersides of the primate.
The Java Macaque is often seen in captivity. In the wild, it is found in a variety of habitats, though it prefers forested or agricultural areas. Raffles first recognized the Java Macaque as a species in 1821. Although this animal is found throughout the Indo Pacific region, ranging through various lands including Java, Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippine Islands, and Sumatra, the Java Macaque is dwindling in population. It is fast approaching a "Threatened" listing and is not welcomed throughout much of its range, due to its tendency to destroy crops. Deforestation also threatens the Java Macaque.
Java 5 came with a really great analysis tool called jconsole. We're using it to try to figure out why our Tomcat server hangs every few hours. At this point, I think this memory slope is probably unrelated.

My cousin's dog. Don't let the dogfro fool you, this dog is legit. Amazing coordination and she brings the ball right back to your side and drops it nicely. Plus, how could you not love that hairdo? It has to be tied back when she goes swimming :)

«All day working with it, but everything looks fine now.
This morning I've finished installing everything I need in my laptop. And this afternoon I've started with my course of JAVA programming. It's really hard to start with a new language by yourself, and even harder if you only know languages with a simple way of working with variables and functions... This is being completely different.»

Happy children from the Primary School along the road through the inlands of Central Java. We were on our route from Dieng to Semarang.
