"In the beginning of October, Total paid for us (along with 16 other expats) to go to Yogyakarta on Java, for an 'Introduction to Total and Indonesia'. Losely translated, this meant an all expenses paid trip out of Balikpapan, for 3 days, with opportunities to go sight-seeing and shopping in Jakarta. The only drawback was that we had to sit and listen to a few presentations. In French. Well, it didn't seem too much of a hardship.Yogyakarta wasn't particularly interesting, but not far from the city are two magnificent temples...."

		...Scenes from Borobudur...
	Borobudur is the world's biggest Buddhist temple, built in about 700-800AD.		Unfortunatley, the foundations weren't any good, and so the temple was neglected for many years...
		...until the 1970's, when UNESCO funded a project to rebuild the foundations from concrete.

...Views of Prambanan...		Prambanan is a comples of Hindu temples, built in 810AD...
	...it is slightly newer than Borobudur, but is a magnificent site when viewed from a distance.
