The second day of our trip we visited the BOROBUDUR TEMPLE. It is located 40 km west of Jogja and it is surrounded by volcanoes. It is a Buddhist temple built in the 9th century. The temple is 34.5 m high and covers 200 square meters. The temple was built with 1.6 million of blocks made of volcanic rock and they were joint together without mortar.
The temple has 5 levels, which indicate the path to Nirvana. The first level is the terrenal level (needs and desires) and you arrive to enlightenment in the fifth level, above which the Nirvana is represented with a huge empty stupa (10 m of diameter).
We start the path...here on the second level.
During our path to enlightment we found a group of Indonesian teeneagers willing to practice their English, so we spent some time talking with them.

they were a little older.. but with the same "homework" of speaking English with tourists.
