TASK #3 | SARI'S SCHOOL TRIP (4 POINTS)
To Prambanan Temple, Indonesia
The image features two iconic religious landmarks from Indonesia: Borobudur Temple on the left and Prambanan Temple on the right. The illustrated bus lacks visible doors, suggesting they are on the opposite side. Given that Indonesia follows left-hand traffic, this implies the bus is heading to the right—toward Prambanan Temple.
