One of the highlights of our trip to Indonesia was a visit to the Borobadur complex. The place is huge with wonderful view of the fields around the temple. We watched the jungle wake up around us.
I have been teaching English as a second language for over 20 years in Japan and Canada. What keeps me in Japan is the love of its culture, which constantly surprises me. I am also fascinated with "alternative travel", or "travel off the beaten path". Ferries and trains are my mode of choice... airplane for convenience.
