Jakarta to Borobudur/Kutoarjo (S01E12)
S01E12
Michael's adventure across Indonesia's largest island continues as he departs from Jakarta. His seven-hour train ride takes him through lush rainforests and expansive rice paddies, leading him to the volcanic core of Central Java. There, he explores Mount Merapi, the island's most treacherous volcano, and discovers the tragic impact of its 2010 eruption, which claimed over 300 lives. In the nearby village of Bendo, Michael immerses himself in the local culture by trying his hand at traditional noodle-making. His journey culminates at the stunning Borobudur Temple, where he learns about the world's largest Buddha statue.
