My family and I arrived at Borobudur Temple at 11:30 in the afternoon. There, I saw many
tourists. Borobudur Temple was crowded in that holiday vacation. I could learn and practice
speaking English with one of foreign tourists. His name was Jack. He was very friendly. It was
my first time to speak English with foreign tourist.
We went back at 04:30 in the evening. It was a very interesting vacation .
