Cultural Program

All students who join LPAR will have the tour program. This tour program will visit the Borobudur temple, the Prambanan temple, and City Sightseeing. Yogyakarta is a tourism destination in Indonesia. The city offers many interesting tourism objects.

Beside the tour program, such students will also join two dinners with the teachers and the participants of LPAR. The dinner will be held on 10 October 2010 at Warung Pecel Solo and 13 October 2010 at the Pring Sewu. It is big chance for the students to meet with LPAR participants, who are the great researchers from around the world.
Accommodations

The host organizes a hotel during the summer school. The hotel is in Yogyakarta city such that it makes the participants easy to reach some tourism places. Because of the distance, we provide bus as transportation from the hotel to the school site and the Hyatt hotel.

However, each participant may organize their accommodation and transportation by them selves.
