On Wednesday, my students and I went to Yogyakarta. We stayed at Dirgahayu Hotel which is not far
from Malioboro.

On Thursday, we visited the temples in Prambanan. There are three big temples, the Brahmana, Syiwa
and Wisnu temples. They are really amazing. We visited only Brahmana and Syiwa temples, because
Wisnu temple is being renovated.

On Friday morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent about two hours there. We were lucky because
we were led by a smart and friendly guide. Then we continued our journey to Borobudur. We arrived
there at four p.m. At 5 p.m. we heard the announcement that Borobudur gate would be closed.

Text 4

Last vacation, I decided to visit the Dani tribe in Baliem Valley to do a little adventure.

First, I stopped at Muliama village, which was about 20 kilometres from Wamena to enjoy the Baliem
Cultural Festival it was held for several days. People of the Dani were singing, dancing and playing their
traditional music in the festival, They painted their faces with pig grease, clay ash and fur. They held
their bows, arrows and spears to act as if they were attacking each other. However, no blood was shed.
It was all intended only as a threatening show of force.

When the festival ended, I chose to join a trekking trip to the spectacular villages of the Dani. The trip
gave me an opportunity to see the real lifestyle of the Dani people. I saw great wooden bridges across
the fast-flowing mountain rivers. I also learnt that men and women did not live in one traditional house.
Another amazing thing that I learnt was that people missing fingers were a result of a custom whereby
both men and women might cut off their fingers if they were left by the loved one.

My eight-day trip to Baliem Valley gave me a remarkable impression of how rich Indonesia's culture is.
