I have a regret, that is not able to spend more time in Jogja. Before I went to Jogja, I only have 1 place in mind, that is Borobudur. I have no idea that Jogja is such an ancient city that it is full of ruins to be explore. This place has both the Buddhism and Hinduism influence along with the local Javanese elements making it so unique. Apparently, there are at least 8 more ruins that is worthy to be listed in UNESCO such as Ijok, Boko, Sambisari, Plaosan, Tara, Gampingan, Kedulan, Mendut and Pawon.
After leaving Tamansari, we managed to arm twist the driver to drop us at Plaosan before heading to Prabanan. Why Plaosan among the 8 others is simply because it is located very near to Prabanan, about 1km away.
Plaosan is also famous for the name of Twin Temple of Jogja. Apparently this is the only temples that has both Buddhism and Hinduism mixed together.
The entrance fee to the Plaosan ruin is 3000 Rupiah each. We were at first a little bit sceptical to go in because there wasn't a single soul here and we were just four ladies. But we went in nevertheless.
Although this temple did not get the attention that Borobudur and Prabanan gets, it still stands proud and gives the hint of a once majestical temple.

| Stupa is a clear sign of Buddhism although I might be wrong in the case of Jogja. |
