Go Java-ku

If you think of a place to visit for your vacation, Java island is one of the alternative. If you are fond of spicy food, Java offers everything you like.
There are big old Hindu's and Budha's temples, Prambanan dan Borobudur, located in central of Java.
What do you know about Java any way? Coffee, computer program language, or Java the cave man?
Yes, Java is an island that attract people coming to the island. When we look at the history, we see that Dutch, then Japanese came to the island, not as a visitor. They want to occupy the island. After 3.5 generation occupying the island, Dutch has to admit that the island is not theirs. They have to give up and give it back to to the native people. Japanese? Sadly, they were only able to 'stay' in less than 4 years. They gave up after an American pilot dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Itwas the bloodiest mass killing in the history of planet earth.
