Traveling Abroad
My first overseas trip was when I went to Thailand with my father. At that moment I was still in Junior
High School level and it was a school day off. My father took this trip because he needed a data for his
research about the legendary bird “Garuda”, which turned out to be a legend too in Thailand. We spent
only 1 day in Thailand, but I already experience a lot of new things.
When we first landed at the Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, we got a taxi and asked the driver to
take us to the nearest hotel. He drove us to Windsor Suites Hotel located on Sukhumvit Road. We went
straight to the receptionist and booked a room for tonight and tomorrow. The receptionist gave us a
card that we can use as a key to unlock our room. We went to our room and took a quick shower,
change our clothes and then went down to the lobby again.
From the lobby, we went out to the street. My father order a ride to a local driver. It looked like a
becak motor but a lot bigger and the people called it “tuk-tuk”. My father asked the driver to take us to
Chatuchak Market and find us a restaurant that served Halal food for Moslem. Then we arrived at a
small restaurant which turned out to be owned by Indonesian. The owner was very nice, he gave us a
free meal when we were about to left his restaurant. He said that it was for our breakfast, just in case
we couldn’t find any Halal food at the hotel. My father thanked him and ask to exchange their phone
number. Before we went back to the hotel, my father took me around the Chatuchak Market. I saw so
many toys that I have never seen before in Indonesia. My father bought me one of those toys, it was
rubber chicken. It was so funny, because when we squeeze it, it will make sound just like rooster. After
that we went back to the hotel and go to bed.
In the morning, we enjoy free breakfast at the hotel. We had a lot of Halal food to choose. I took a
couple glass of free milk for myself. After that my father order an Uber and ask the driver to take us to
three archaeological sites in Thailand which were Ayutthaya Historical Park, Ban Non Wat village, and
the temple of Prasat Ta Muen Thom. When we arrived on each destination, my father started collecting
the data. While my father was working, I walked around the historical site and took a lot of picture of
myself. We finished the job at 5 p.m, and we still have enough time to head back to the hotel, took a
quick shower and drove right away to the airport. We went back to Indonesia that night at 9 p.m. My
father and I were exhausted but I was so happy.
A Trip to Borobudur Temple
Three years ago, I and my classmates visited Borobudur Temple. We went to Borobudur temple by bus.
We left our school at nine o’clock. It took us 24 hours to arrive there. I arrived there nine o’clock the
next day. Along the road, we saw many vehicles, unique houses, prominent buildings, and some other
tourists.
After we arrived at the Borobudur temple, one of my teachers went to buy tickets. After we waited him
for a moment we entered into Borobudur temple area. Then we went up to the top of the temple.
Borobudur temple was built at Budur Village, Magelang, Jawa Tengah by Syailendra Dynasty. Borobudur
Temple is the biggest temple in the world. It has 504 statues and 1.400 reliefs. From the top of the
temple we can see such beautiful scenery. I and my friends went around the temple together. Finally,
after having some visits, we should go to the hotel to stay and continue our study tour the next day.
We felt tired that day but we felt so happy to visit Borobudur temple which is well-known as one of the
greatest legacies Indonesia has ever had. I hope the temple can be loved by all of the visitors and the
government.
Hi friends, now, I will tell my semester holidays at home. The last holiday, I chose to spend the time at
home just because I wanted to have a lot of time hanging out with family at home.
The first day, I did some activities that I rarely do in school days. I started these activities with jogging in
the morning, then played games on the computer, and played online games until 10:00 a.m. After that I
took a bath, and continued playing the online games again until 12.00. Midday prayers time (Dzuhur)
came so I must pray and then followed by lunch. After midday prayers and lunch, I and all members of
the family gathered in the living room to watch TV together while chatting.
The next day, I was conducting a little bit different activity. After breakfast, my mom asked me to go
with her to the mall. At the mall, I accompanied my little sister to play on timezone while waiting for our
mother to finish shopping. I got home at 12, we continued our activities with midday prayers and had
lunch together. After midday prayers and having lunch together, watching TV together while relaxing
repeated again.
The next day, I just took rest when prayer times and meal times with the family came. But at night, I
spent quality time with my family to watch some DVDs together.
In the following days, we spent the time by doing the same activities. We were very happy even though
we did not travel far away to spend a holiday. We enjoyed very much the family togetherness in the last
holiday.
