In 1900 AD vulcanology expert estimate that Merapi Mountain erupted awfully and cause some ancient civilization by then become to vanish. Estimated also because of that eruption the biggest temple in Indonesia Temple Borobudur collapse and some other temple piled up by Merapi Mountain material . From some existing sites we found alongside Kaliworo river , we can see and estimate that its hoard deepness can reach 5 - 6 metres under the sand. And then estimated by that the eruption happened continually in a masive scale. That way population of human being or Hindus community decreased constanly , yea… they evacuated to the savest place.
In river Kaliworo were found two small Temple sites, those sites was found by two man who mined stone and sand, and possibilities there are still some other ancient sites which await to be found. Those temple estimated as hindu temple , it was small temple only 3 x 3 metres .It is true if we seen from the number of temple which spread over Prambanan Temple we can conclude that there was a big civilization which the center itself in Prambanan Temple.

FORMAL EDUCATION VERSUS NON FORMAL EDUCATION
The activity learn carried out fully dedication although its location far from downtown KLATEN CENTRAL JAVA INDONESIA , close to the Merapi Mountain or mountainside as far as more or less 12 kilometres south of Merapi Mountain.
All student stand outside on the basketball yard march to conduct the flag ceremony every monday with the protocol, train the student for the discipline ,loving and respecting beloved state of Indonesia.
And on Friday they have a boyscout activities enhance their discipline, intelegence and for fun.
SMALL PICTURE
This is a small picture that education also relate to the education itself. Education improved progressively to children or student and have progress to it, if they introduce the part of the formal education since before. So we can assure them thus they are able to interact positively to non formal education. Non formal education can be an introduction to outside learning object like : visiting Prambanan Temple, Borobudur temple, Museum,Ramayana Ballet etc. By knowing and seeing those objects they can learn more how to apreciate and realize that those all created with dignity, honour and discipline so they have a link and compare it to the matery they gained from their own class instead of local original culture of Indonesia. By education we can love our culture or social culture that can be applied early, the form of it we can make activities like boy scout, flag ceremony , line march activities.
We can be a person who loves culture and also person who understands education, how education is absolutely important for the future of the nation and also our country. Nowdays cultural education seem to be less in attention, but we can not surrender even the situation of the globalization era is not so good so far especially for students mental development. Finally we should keep our spirit and not surrender.

DANCING with the sun
At 14.30 pm, outside Yogyakarta City the atmosphere of the street was still in heat, they gathered in a T- junction of a traffic light, tens of machines of motor vehicles await to race against the heat of town of Yogyakarta at that time, and when from west direction the vehicles stoped for a moment because of red light , immediately a group of traditional dancer using colourful traditional clothes went down to the street accompanied by the gamelan player ( gamelan : tradisional music instrument like ;percussion, and pentatonic castanets made of metal ) , danced in front of vehicle on a crossroad line with a whipe on hand. In a few second later two people among others immediately circularized a spoon box to each riders and asked money from them.
HARD FIGHT
I didn’t realized that they worked from morning to evening, daybreak till dawn. I thought they were so creative not just like any other street musician or more extreme some people said that they were a beggar, no I thought. They showed creativity by using traditional clothes, music and also good made up. They presented marvelous style.

BUDDIST TEMPLE
ARCHAEOLOGY CULTURE TREASURE IN INDONESIA
BUDDIST TEMPLE
This fine Candi is badly damaged, except for its southern side. Many of stones have been lost. It appears to have been built late in the 8th or early in the 9th century on the top of an older Candi. Incription was found a short distance away relating that a candi had been built in honour of the female Bodhisattva, Tara. At firt, this was thoug to be the present Candi Kalasan, but then constructional proof was found that the present sanctuary had been built completely around another, and it became clear that the inscription dated 700 Saka or 778 AD refer to the earlier building. The inscription is of further interest since it relates that the Candi devoted to Tara had been built by Syailendra dynasty.
Candi Kalasan is one of buddist temple which has some uniques on its building. This unique character doesn’t found at another temple in Prambanan region
The candi kalasan we see today beside the road Yogyakarta and Solo, Yogyakarta Province , is undoubtedly Buddist. Although we don not know what was the form of the statue Buddha, or of Tara, that was in the main chamber Its seems to have been very large, possibly as much as 6 metres in height. It was probably of bronze and we can therefore image it gilded and bejeweled.
What can be seen of Candi kalasan today is the product of reconstruction work from 1927 to 1939. Unfortunately the top, which ended with a great bell – shaped stupa cannot be completed since the stones are missing. The decoration of this candi has very fine detail while the restraint that has been used adds to its beauty. Here and there on this Candi, even today, some of “diamond plaster “ can be seen that used as a base for painting and gilding.
On a holiday Mr.WIM from Belgium saw the temple on Wenesday, June 3rd 2009. He expressed his admiration how the ancient worker brought tons of stones up.He said to me it’s a wonderful to see a great heritage in Indonesia.

Finally, geologist prediction come true that the lava dome slide because the weak arrest;detain millions of meter cubics of lava which slide away from crater slide away and hereafter thousands tons of very hot material hop down and buried the tourism site under it.
