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.

The police thought that two burglars started the robbery at 151 Pattimura street on Sunday
afternoon. The burglars broke into the students’ room while they were going to a football game.
They never thought that while they were away, burglars would break into their boarding house.
On Saturday night, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of
people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes’ time.
Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did
not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted,”It’s two
minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!”
I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that
moment, everybody began to laugh and sing.

My last holiday was classified as a very simple holiday. I was only at home for doing my hobbies
such as writing, drawing, and visiting my friends’ house. On the first day until the fifth day I
spent time with writing some short stories, chatting with family, and painting some objects at
home.
Then in the following days, I visited my friends’ home to study and to do fun things together.
Having finished studying, we then cycled around the area to see new things together. After being
tired of cycling, we took visit at other friends’ house while fulfilling the thirst. Every time the
day got dark, we went back to our homes to spend time with family.
Those days were very enjoyable for me. Although I only spent holiday at home by doing funny
things, spending time with family, and visiting my friends’ home while studying, I really enjoyed
that short holiday.
