My Holiday Was Fantastic
Last summer I got a fantastic holiday.
I visited some great places.
I went to an airport and was going to fly to Cleveland. I was spending there two days. I liked to see some Cleveland Cavaliers basketball matches.
Then I went to Hollywood. Hollywood is a famous district in Los Angeles, California, United States. It had become world-famous as the center of the film industry. Four major film companies – Paramount, Warner Bros., RKO and Columbia – had studios in Hollywood. I did not want to leave but I had to.
After that, I went to New York city. I visited the Statue of Liberty. I went from the bottom of Manhattan to the top of the crown. That was very amazing.
The places made me feel at home but I have to go home. Next time I would return to them.

Sunday The Terrible
Last week was a terrible day for me . My cousin and I were playing football
infront of the house to spend time with us . First , it was really fun until I
kicked the ball too strong , so the ball leaded me to the window and broke the
window . When we want to escape , all of a sudden we all heard a loud voice .
After that , the owner of the house came out of the fence , he yelled at us .
We are very afraid of her , but we do not know what to do . Then , one of my
cousins told us to run , we all ran , and suddenly we heard the sound of skin .
Then we know that homeowners allow dogs to chase us . And we were struggling to
run as fast as her as we can. But , I fell down so the dog managed to capture
me and bit my leg . It really hurts me . Then the dog ran back into the house .
My cousin took me to the doctor and told my parents . In the end, the doctor
said that I was exposed to rabies . Then I was hospitalized for one week more .
that's a terrible day of the week for me , may not happen to me again in his
next week Sunday .
My trip to Borobudur Temple
Last week, I spent my vacation in Jogjakarta, the city is famous in Indonesia.
I went to the temple of Borobudur. My family and I went there in the morning we
went to Borobudur temple by private car family. I had prepared everything
before we went to Jogja. While we were driving, we get to see some beautiful
scenery mountains, forests, and waterfalls as well as cars pass by. My family
and I arrived at the Borobudur Temple at 4:30 pm. There, I saw a lot of
tourists. Borobudur temple is crowded on a holiday vacation. I can learn and
practice speaking English with a foreign tourist different language to me. Dovi
his name. He is very friendly. This is the first time I spoke English with
foreign tourists. We returned at 22:30 at night. It was a very interesting
holiday for me and my family was happy.
Morning, I go to school
My
mom got me ready for school and then I had to wait for him to brush my hair and
put each piece in just the perfect position. I had to show her my shoes that I
had cleaned the night before by me and my school bag should be neatly placed on
my shoulder before I could get near the door in my room. Only after my mother
was completely satisfied, whether I would be allowed to rush out of my house. I
would leave home at 7 am at the point and make your way down the path. After
walking about 500 meters I could see the tower of my high school. Play will be
full in the summer and the noise would make me want to rush into the courtyard
and into a good game of football before the bell. that's how I now want to go
to school.
Camping at Mount Ciremai
Last weekend, my friends and I went camping in the mountain Ciremai. We reached the camping ground as we walked for about a half hour from the parking lot. We built the camp next to the rocks and trees. It was getting dark and cold enveloped us, so we built a bonfire. The next day, we spent our time observing plantation and insects while the girls were preparing food for lunch together. In the afternoon we went to the river and catch a fish for dinner. At night, we held a bonfire night. We sing, dance, read poetry, comedy, having fun, playing magic tricks, and even some of us do stand up comedy and highly entertaining us all to laugh. On Monday, we packed our bags and got ready to go home, respectively.
Pangandaran
Beach
The tour to Pangandaran Beach started
on holiday last semester. We decided to go to Pangandaran Beach by our
motorbike. That was very interesting tour. Riding a motorbike from my hometown,
Cirebon, to Pangandaran Beach with my best friends made me feel exited.
The tour to Pangandaran Beach began at
09.00 a.m. in the morning and it took 5 hours riding to Pangandaran Beach.
There were so many story that my friends and I got when we were in the tour
such as there was my friend who got lost, ran out of fuel in the middle of jungle,
and so forth. But it was interesting, because it was the first moment that I
ever had in touring.
We arrived at Pangandaran Beach at
02.00 p.m. and we stright to move to the beach. At beach we just lied down
there to stretch our muscle because of 5 hours riding. We also had a lunch
there by eating some foods that we brought from Cirebon. That was very nice
moment when we shared our own food to others.
After we had enough rest, we began to
explore Pangandaran Beach. Started by exploring the beach, and the sea using
rented boat. Then we went to dive by renting some diving equipment. We could
see many coral there. We just had 2 hours to enjoy Pangandaran Beach because we
had to come back to Cirebon.
We came back to Cirebon at 04.00 p.m.
It was imposible to ride in the night, so we just decided to stay over in our
friend house in Ciamis and we started to come back in the morning. That was
very nice experience that I and my friends ever had. We would never forget that
moment.
A Funeral in Toraja
Last month my family and I went to
Toraja to attend Grandpa’s funeral. It was my first time to go to such a
ceremony. We gathered there with our kin in the ceremony.
Overall, the ceremony was quite
elaborate. It took about a week. Several days before the ceremony was done,
grandpa’s body was kept in a series of houses arranged in a circular row around
an open field called tongkonan. His corpse was dressed in a fine wearing.
The funeral was performed in two phases.
First, we slaughtered the pigs and buffaloes, and then moved the corpse to face
north. In this ceremony we wore black clothes. After that, the corpse was
placed in a sandal wood coffin. Then, it was brought out of the house and
placed on an open platform beneath the granary. Meanwhile, my uncle, my
brother, and I prepared the wooden puppet and a funeral tower called lakian.
The next phase of the ceremony was held in this place. The coffin is borne from
the house and placed in the lakian. During the day, there were also buffalo
matches. They were great matches. In the night, we were feasting, chanting, and
dancing.
On the last day, the grandpa’s coffin
were lowered from the funeral tower and brought up to the mountain side family
graveyard. It was followed by great shouting and excitement from the relatives
and the guests. Finally, we installed the wooden puppet on a high balcony where
other puppets representing the members of a whole family were already there.
The funeral ceremonies made my family and me tired. However, we were grateful
because it ran smoothly.

On arrival at Heathrow Airport, they had to go to Customs and Immigration. The officers were pleasant. They checked the document carefully but their manners were very polite. Mr. Richard and his family collected their bags and went to London Welcome Desk. They arranged the transfer to a hotel.
The hotel was a well-known four-star
hotel. The room had perfect view of the park. The room had its own bathroom and
toilet. Instead of keys for the room, they inserted a key-card to open the
door. On the third floor, there was a restaurant serving Asian and European
food. They had variety of food.
The two week in London went by fast. At
the end of the 14-day, they were quite tired but they felt very happy.
