Last holiday my students and I went to Jogjakarta. We stayed at Morison Hotel which
is not a long way from Malioboro. On Friday, we went to the sanctuaries in
Prambanan.

There are three major sanctuaries, the Brahmana, Syiwa and Wisnu sanctuaries. They
are truly stunning. We went by just Brahmana and Syiwa sanctuaries, on the grounds
that Wisnu sanctuary is being remodeled.

On Saturday morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent around two hours there.
We were fortunate on the grounds that we were driven by a brilliant and amicable
aide.

At that point we proceeded with our adventure to Borobudur. We touched base there
at four p.m. At 6 p.m. we heard the declaration that Borobudur entryway would be
closed. In the evening we left Jogjakarta by bus.

Summer vacation

I just returned from the greatest summer vacation! It was so fantastic, I never wanted
it to end. I spent eight days in paris, france. My best friends, henry and steve, went
with me. We had a beautiful hotel room in the latin quarter, and it wasn’t even
expensive.

We had a balcony with a wonderful view. We visited many famous tourist places. My
favourite was the louvre, a well known museum. I always interested in art, so that was
a special treat for me. The museum is so huge, you could spend weeks there. Henry
got tired walking around the museum and said “Enough! I need to take a break and
rest.”

We took lots of breaks and sat in cafes along the river Seine. The French food we ate
was delicious. The wines were tasty, too. Steve’s favorite part of the vacation was the
hotel breakfast. He said he would be happy if he could eat croissants like those
forever. We had so much fun that we’re already talking about our next vacation.

A long time ago, very few people lived in the New Territories.  There were only a few
villages.  If the people wanted to go from one village to another, they often had to
pass through wild and unsafe forest.
One day, a farmer’s young wife went to the next village to visit her own mother and
brother.  She brought along her baby son.  When it was time for her to leave, her
brother said “ it is getting dark.  Let my son, Ah Tim go with you though the forest.”
So Ah Tim led the way and the young woman followed behind, carrying her baby. 
When they were in the forest, suddenly they saw a group of wolves.  They began to
run to avoid the danger, but Ah Tim kicked against a stone and fell down.  At once the
wolves caught him.  The young woman cried to the wolves, “ please eat my own son
instead.” Then, she put her baby son on the ground in front of the wolves and took her
nephew away.  Everyone understood that this was because the woman was very good
and kind.  She had offered her own son’s life to save her nephew.
They ran back to the house and called for help.  All men in the village fetched thick
sticks and went back with her into the forest.  When they got there, they saw
something very strange.  Instead of eating the woman’s baby the wolves were playing
with him.
