Description
Candi Sewu is a Buddhist temple in Indonesia on the Island of Java. My friend Emani and I had a real Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom experience at this Candi. We worked our way to the very center rooms and found one so deep and dark that my flashlight wouldn't reach the ceiling nor the wall. There were dripping sounds as water spattered on the stone floor from above. It made it sound like little creatures were moving around within. So of course we had to explore. Inside, we discovered that there was a big stage-type structure with stairs on either side leading up. It smelled like a bag full of mushrooms and wet gravel. Emani held my shoulders as we tip toed our way in deeper. Suddenly near my right shoulder I saw the slimiest looking 2 inch cock roach with fluorescent green legs. We screamed and kept going. We worked our way up the slimy stone stairs. As we reached the top of the platform, we could see the cockroaches were everywhere. A drop of watered splattered the back of my neck. We screamed and kept going. We tried to pick our feet up high to keep the slimy fluorescent legged cockroaches off our bare toes as we worked our way to the other side of the stage to go down the stairs. We finally reached the opposite stairscase down and they were so slimy and dilapidated that I couldn't make it down without touching the floor. I would rather brake my face on the stone stairs than put my hand on one of the cockroaches! A water drip splatted Emani and she almost pushed me down the stairs. We screamed and turned around. We decided to use the stairs we had safely made it up the first time. Finally, out into the fresh air and cockroach free daylight. Bwahahahahaaaaaa! Read more on my blog:
