TRIP TO JAVA

Diposting oleh Ratri Nur Islamiarti di 23.06
When I was in high school, my friends and I went to Java for ten days for a short English course in Pare, Kampung Inggris. Also, we visited several tourist attractions on the island of Java. My friends and I were accompanied by several teachers. I and a few friends joined the English Club, an extracurricular at school. But some are not.

Before leaving, of course, I prepare myself. Whether it's preparing expenses for me while in Java, preparing clothes, preparing all the equipment that I will need while I am there. I and my friends certainly go to Java using an airplane. I went to Tjilik Riwut Airport to be escorted by my parents. Arriving there, before leaving, I was accompanied by friends officially released by the principal for the short course. After that, we all checked in and so forth, and waited for our departure time.

After several hours of flight, we arrived at Juanda Airport, Surabaya. There we were awaited by a bus that would take us to our next destination, namely Kampung Inggris. Before reaching the English Village, we first stopped at the Angkut Museum, Malang. At that time there was celebrating Halloween, so many people dressed as ghosts. My friends and I went around, took pictures, tried rides, and bought ice cream. After being around, we gathered again with the group, and before continuing the trip to the English Village we ate first.

At midnight, we arrived at the English Village, Pare. We took a course at a place called Batara Guru, when we got there we unloaded the suitcases from the Bus. Then, our names were read one by one by the tutor who was there, to share in the room where we slept. I and my friends got a special house for us there. The house is very comfortable to live in. There is one spacious bedroom, then the living room, there is also a fish pond near the outside pavilion. We took a week of English courses there, starting in the morning after we had breakfast, and taking a break from the noontime to Asr, then continued until the evening. There we were taught by four tutors.

Then, after a week in Kampung Inggris, we wanted to continue our journey to Central Java, maybe precisely the Jogjakarta area. We were picked up again by bus, but this time the bus was bigger and more comfortable. We left the English village at night. We arrived in Jogja in the morning, after resting at a layover, showering and preparing. We went to the Borobudur temple, where we were required to invite foreign visitors to talk. So that we can practice the results of our courses. Borobudur Temple is very majestic, from Borobudur Temple we can see the surroundings. We also visited the Prambanan temple, the Prambanan temple is no less beautiful than Borobudur temple. There we can see statues, such as the Roro Jonggrang statue.

While in Central Java, we stayed at a guesthouse. We also visited Pindul Cave. In Goa pindul, we were invited to explore the cave using a buoy because the cave was above water. We were guided by tour guides, who explained in the cave. Of course in the cave is very dark, we only use flashlights from the tour guides. There are lots of bats there. The walls of the cave are very moist. When we want to get to the other end of the cave, we are challenged to try to jump from the top of the cliff in the cave to the water. At first, I was hesitant, but finally, I did it, I ventured to jump from the cliff.

Also, while in Central Java, we also went to Parang Tritis Beach. We came in the evening nearing sunset. The view is very beautiful, the sun looks very big when it will set, and slowly disappears. Of course, my friends and I did not forget to take pictures, to capture moments that will not be repeated.

Then, on the last night, my friends and I went to Sekaten. Sekaten is like a night market, which, if I'm not mistaken, is only held for one month a year. My friends and I went to grab a car. In Sekaten, we buy souvenirs, and we don't forget to buy food. We also tried a kora-kora vehicle, for me it was terrible. At midnight, we returned to the guesthouse to rest, because the next day we returned to Palangka Raya.

During my ten days in Java, me and friends have gone to many places.  Like, Borobudur Temple, Prambanan Temple, Pindul Cave, Parang Tritis Beach and others. It was a very memorable and enjoyable experience for me. And my friends I enjoyed the course and the trip we did. Of course, we create many memories that will not be forgotten.
