Assalamu’alaikum Nufus,
How have you been ? It has been a long time we didn’t meet since my
Student Exchange Program ended two years ago. How’s your school recently
and when will you have school holiday?
Honestly, I miss our memorable moments, especially the moments
when we went to Sabang with our classmates. It was very beautiful beyond
imagination. Do you still remember it? Nufus, I’d like to tell you about a
suprising news. You problably won’t believe it. Guess what?
You know, It will be my school holiday next month. It will start on
December 21, 2018 until January 5, 2019 It will be a long holiday, right? As
I promised you that I’ll come back to Aceh one day. Then I’d like to release it.
My family and I have decided to spend some days in Aceh and we are going to
visit some historical buildings and ecotourism destinations there. I have
browsed the website of several fascinating places that we will visit next
holiday such as Tsunami Museum, PLTD Apung, Aceh Traditional House,
Pulo Banyak, Lam Pu’uk, and Sabang.
We’re going to leave our country, Pakistan on November 23 and we’ll
arrive in Aceh the next day. We’are going to stay in Grand Arabia Hotel in
Banda Aceh because it’s located in the center of the city. Oke Nufus. That’s
all for now. Please write to me soon.

With love
