Glad you loved it... I'm lucky to have my real RUMAH MERTUA (or parents in law house there) which actually isnt too far from the hotel "rumah mertua" itself :)
Its funny you said Jogja is a large city, but I guess it sounded funny to me, because when I visit from Jakarta its just a perfect size place and not as busy as Jakarta...
A stupa is a statue of the medium sized buddha and he's looking out thru another statue which is a bell shape, and you are able to stick you hand through and touch. However its funny that they told you to touch his ring finger, when I last went to Borobudur they said to touch his face.. :) hehehe.. but that was like in 1994...
I havent returned since because its bad luck to return with your partner (my fiancee) and his mum (who's originally from Jogja) wont let us go there...and thats the same rule for the other temples around Jogja as well...
