Indonesia, "Many religions in PEACE", 2015

Maybe someday people from all religions will live together in PEACE. For now it sounds like a dream.

In Indonesia you can believe in it, while you hear the prayers of Muslims walking in a Buddhist Temple a few minutes away from a Hindu temple and smile to a local Christian.

Pura Puncak Penulisan

The Gili Islands are an archipelago of three small islands — Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air — just off the northwest coast of Lombok. We went to Trawangan and stayed in a quiet resort with the friendliest staff. Biking around the island was fun and easy. We wondered why the locals did not care about the trash piles outside of the resort.

Uluwatu Temple is a Balinese sea temple built on cliffs. We watched a traditional Kecak dance at the temple.

Java

Prambanan is a Hindu temple in Java built in the 9^th century
