Korean Ambassador Lee Sun-Jin enjoys staying in Indonesia

Lee Sun-Jin who has been served in his job as ambassador to Indonesia for three years has visited many cities in Indonesia including Bandung in West Java province, Central Kalimantan province, South Kalimantan province, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) province, Bali province and Yogyakarta province.

The ambassador whose hobbies are reading, traveling and playing golf said he was even interested in tourist sites like Borobudur temple (the biggest Buddhist temple in Indonesia or even in the world), and Prambanan Temple which is the biggest Hindu temple in Indonesia.

Borobudur temple is located some 40 kilometers north-west of Yogyakarta and Prambanan temple about 20 kilometers east of the city which is led by a governor, Sultan Hamengkubuwono X.

The South Korean ambassador also likes such tourist attractions and cultural performances as `wayang` (traditional Javanese puppet shadow play) and paintings.

"I feel at home in Yogyakarta as the ancient city is reminiscent of Gyongju (an ancient city in Korea), close to Busan City where I used to live," said Lee who graduated from the Department of International Relations, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea, in February 1975.
