If not, then you really did make quite the sacrifice to make it to Borobudur at dawn! ;)YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-82851336147088370922017-10-25T02:55:18.439+08:002017-10-25T02:55:18.439+08:00So nice to see these spectacular photos and imagin...So nice to see these spectacular photos and imagine you there! The last time I was there 92008), I made it for a dawn visit...and it is definitely nicest at that time.

Still, I do think that my German friend and I did spend more time at the main and subsidiary temples than most -- and hopefully my upcoming blog posts and photos of it will help provide evidence of that! ;bYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-22599896756203090972017-06-09T20:20:14.558+08:002017-06-09T20:20:14.558+08:00Hi again, YTSL,

As for Angkor, I would like to visit it, even with the high volume of visitors. I read a comment online that a satisfied visitor to Angkor had a guide take him to the most popular sites at lunch hour when there were less tourists Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-46875984028053488222017-06-07T23:45:34.199+08:002017-06-07T23:45:34.199+08:00Hi Bill --

As my German friend said: it seems we visited Borobudur before it all goes crazy -- though, sadly, it may well be thatYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-74139179650224030142017-06-07T06:46:11.954+08:002017-06-07T06:46:11.954+08:00HI ytsl,

Central Javanese Buddhist sculpture is considered some of the finest produced in Asia. These photos prove it.<br /><br />Bill<br /><br />Billnoreply@blogger.com
