Hi, I'm old, fat, ugly, and boring so I can't help you as such.

However, Indonesia has some interesting places to visit, but not quite so much history as England and its subordinate bits.

There are a number of temples that are over a thousand years old, and a few classic VW clubs dotted around.

You will also find a number of old mosques from the 14th century and forward, and well as my 10 year old Luxio mini-van.

Gunung Padang may or may not be of interest, but trying to work out its mysteries might be.

Gunung Padang's history of maybe being history is interesting in itself
