    This building became popular not because of the internet but this building became popular because it was used as a filming location for one of the big movie franchises in Indonesia.

    I just randomly went there yesterday, when I met a British guy who told me about the church while I was standing on a line to purchase tickets for a near by temple.

      You should visit Sendangsono, not far from Chicken Church, where first generation of Javanese Catholics are baptized there and Christianty blends with local culture. You should also visit Ganjuran Catholic Church in Yogyakarta (a neighboring city). There, we can see a church with unique Javanese architecture including some elements being influenced by Majapahit Empire's architecture.

      In my personal opinion, Indonesia is like a maze and puzzle game. Where tourists who visit are players and Indonesia is the place to play. Visiting Indonesia is actually not just for a vacation, but for adventure and exploring. Because in Indonesia there are so many categories that tourists can choose according to their wishes. Be it nature, entertainment venues, museums, shopping centers, culture, food, drinks, and more. Not only that, in 1 city in Indonesia there are lots of tourist attractions that tourists can choose for themselves, even tourist attractions with different nuances (That's only in 1 city, not including all of Indonesia). Then you will be able to find a lot of diversity, uniqueness, weirdness and other things in Indonesia according to the way of each traveler and their respective memories.
      So my judgment (Personal opinion) : Indonesia is a place for adventure and exploration, not just a place for vacation. We tourists to Indonesia are players in the maze. Every city in Indonesia has different characteristics and too many categories. This is what is called an adventure game. Indonesia is perfect for tourists who are much more adventurous, discover the unique, know the great diversity, explore different natures and challenges. Full of magic.
      Thank you.

    My dream building has always been a temple to Bast. Built in an ancient Egyptian meets the future style it would be filled with art and sculptures, but its primary function would be to serve as a charity veterinary hospital. All animals would be welcome and public events that feature music and dance would help raise charity funds for the temple.

    So there's this very iconic 2002 Indonesian Movie called Ada Apa Dengan Cinta? / AADC? (What's wrong with Cinta?). It was very popular not only in Indonesia, but also Malay speaking countries of Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei
    After 14 years of waiting, in 2016 AADC? 2 finally came out. IT WAS A VERY BIG DEAL, everyone's talkin about it. In AADC? 2, there's a scene where the main characters watch the sunrise on top of the chruch. Maybe that's why this church is so famous. I also know this chicken church fron the movie
