going on a trip to indonesia with Some study colleges, and one professor (Subject Architecture)
We want to visit some old temples, Villages, the modern cities Jakarta and Yogjakarta. General questions:
Recommendations about, temples, authentic old villages other sites to visit (doesnt have to be architecture related, authentic local culture nature etc. is also something we want to experience)
Traveling medium, is the Infrastructure good, can we drive by ourselves or do we have to hire a driver for a tour (we did that in mongolia two years before) or do we even have to use domestic flights?
Do you maybe have some ressources where i can find information about indonesia, maybe even with some architectural focus?
roads are shit pretty much everywhere. But the local flights are super cheap and there are lots of them. I was planning to bus/ boat it but ended up mostly flying, which is both faster and cheaper. You miss out on the scenery somewhat though. (But then, those volcano views from the plane are not too shabby either)
any other suggestions ?

Borobudur is a must if you like temples. Also, Bali has a lot of cultural stuff if you ignore the crowds.

Sumatra is full of assholes, at least it was, when I was over there (no, I wasn't one of them)

What do you mean? Locals or tourists?
Sumatra was probably my favorite part of Indonesia.

What in the...
I'm going on a study trip to semarang and yogyakarta in march. Subject urban planning. Are you from the RU as well?
Anyway, my plan is to fly to semarang, take the bus to yogya and see borobudur and Prambanam. Then either climb mt. Bromo or Iljen before going to Bali.
I heard the Prambanam beach is great as well.

Sorry, Pangandaran beach. Indonesia has great beaches for surfing.
