    Actually, Indonesia has many active volcano, because Indonesia is passed mediterranean and Pasific Circle. The mediterranean circum spread out in Sumatera, Java, and Sulawesi island. Most of them located in Java, so Java has fertile land. Java become an Island with the densests population in Indonesia.  The highest mountain in Indonesia is Jaya Wijaya, located in Papua Island.

    Borobudur is Buddha tample. It is located in Magelang, Middle Java. It is the biggest temple in Indonesia.

I`m a Geography teacher... the other day we were reading about your  country.. it`s funny because the students ask me as if I have visited your country...we read something about Borobudur.
