Dear Betty,
I'm writing to you concerning of my last day in Jogja. I just got back from Borobudur,
the wonderful temple I've ever seen. The weather is fine. We are now staying in a
hotel. It's not far from Malioboro. We are treated well here. It has many excellent staff
who serve the customers. We have planned to go around Malioboro after the
children took a short nap. We want to enjoy having "lesehan" there. It is a kind of a
restaurant but we have to sit on the ground.

Many kinds of local handicraft are sold along Malioboro street. Both domestic and
foreign tourists are interested in them. I have bought some as souvenirs. Don't worry,
I would also buy you the most interesting one.

Love,
Dara

Dear diary,

Last Sunday morning, Aunt Emily made an announcement. She told us that she was
going to take us on a cruise! I was very surprised, knowing  how expensive  a
holiday like that could be. However, we agreed. We aren’t a wealthy family, but we
do have a little money put aside, over the years, which we usually use part of, for
vacations.

When the day of departure finally arrived, We were thrilled to see how huge and
luxurious the ship was. Our cruise liner sailed distinguishly out to sea, as our holiday
began.

What a disappointment! There was so little to do on board. The boredom almost

drove us mad. We visited several ports, but we didn’t have the freedom to do what
wanted to. Furthermore, we had to follow a very tight schedule of guided tours visits
to museums. It was an uninteresting experience!
