My school vacation

On the weekend of 4th November, my friends and I went to Depok beach on Yogyakarta.
Then we went to JEC to see computer exhibition. We started our day with full spirit in a
beautiful morning.
We met in front of the campus and went there at 08.00 A.M. We had a beautiful trip.
On the way, we saw beautiful scenery on the left and right side of road. We arrived on Depok
beach at 10.00 A.M. Without spent much time, after parked our motorcycle we closed to the
beach. We were so happy, because we could play in the edge of the beach. Sea looked so
beautiful with it’s wave. Sometimes our clothes were wet waved by the water sea. It was a
beautiful moment, in the beach we could forget our problems and refreshed our mind from
several activities in the college. We felt so hungry after played for three hours. At 01.00 P.M.
we prayed then had a lunch in a restaurant around the beach. We ordered some meals
especially sea food.
From the beach we decided visiting computer exhibition on JEC Jogja. We just spent
three thousand rupiahs for each person to get the ticket. In JEC we saw some computers,
netbooks, printers, and accessories about computers. We just sightseeing and bought a USB,
then we went home. On the way it was rain so hard. Our clothes, even our body were wet, but
we were still happy. It was an amazing weekend. We could go to the beach, then went to
computer exhibition.
