A Trip to Borobudur Temple

Last week, I spent my holiday in Jogjakarta. I went to Borobudur Temple. My family and I went
there early morning.
We went to Borobudur Temple by private car. I had prepared everything before we went to Jogja.
While we were driving, we could see some beautiful views of mountains, forests, and waterfalls.
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.

 My experience met with Taufik Hidayat

Last Sunday, there was Thomas cup badminton championship between Indonesia and China. It was held on
Istora Gelora Bung Karno. I went to Istora Gelora Bung Karno with my Brother, Andi.

Before entering Istora Gelora Bung Karno, we looked the bus that took Indonesian badminton team players. I
saw taufik Hidayat, Muhammad Ahsan, Hendra Setiawan, Hayom Rumbaka, Angga Pratama, Rian Agung, Simon
Santoso, Sony Dwi Kuncoro and the other Indonesian badminton players in that bus. They were very handsome.
Then, we followed that bus to main-entrance. I found that Taufik Hidayat left from the bus. When we wanted to get
close to Taufik Hidayat, a security guard held me back. But I thought that security guard was familiar because He was
my old friend when I was senior high school, he was Andre. After that, he let me in, finally I could meet Taufik
Hidayat and got his signature.

Then, I went back to my seat at the Istora stadium to support Indonesian team. The supporter was very crowded.
They shouted “IN-DO-NE-SI-A” during the match.
