WONDERFUL TRIP
A
few days ago, my friends and I enjoyed our trip in Yogyakarta and Magelang. We
went there for an agenda “Tourist Hunt”. That agenda held by SAEC (Sultan Agung
English Club) to increase our speaking ability by make little conversation with
native speaker. We went there on September 28th-29th
2013.
The
agenda started on 28th September. First, we came together in front
of SAEC office. We left UNISSULA around 5 pm. We arrived in Yogyakarta around
10 pm. It needed long time because the place which we would stay in was quite
far from Yogyakarta city. Exactly, we stay in Wates, Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta
regency. After we arrived, we had given briefing by the committee for the
agenda next day. Then we all took a rest.
Then,
the next day, after preparation and breakfast together, we went to Glagah Beach
in Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta. It took about 15 minutes from the lodge. That place
was very peaceful and the weather was good too. It’s very nice for trip. When
we arrived in the beach, we all amazed by the beautiful scenery, the blue
ocean, the huge waves which hit the rocks, all those were wonderful. Those
rocks were made by human, but it still cool and wonderful. We all played
happily like children. We took many photos there. We all very excited and very
enjoyed.
Then,
the next destination is Borobudur Temple. It was located in Magelang, Central
Java. We left Glagah Beach around 9.30 am. We arrived in Borobudur around 11.30
am. When we arrived there, we started to left the bus, suddenly the sellers
came to offer their product like souvenir and some of us bought that. Then we
came together in a place to lunch together, then we had given briefing again by
the committee. We had to find international tourist minimal 3 persons. We
started enter the Borobudur temple around 12:30 pm. Before we enter to the
temple, we had to wear a stole on our hips. We all wore that stole to
participate continue our culture, batik. We all started to find the tourists.
We all went with our own groups. For the first, my friends and I looked for the
tourist who looked not busy. We met the tourists from Holland. Their names are
Angela and Helena. They were very nice and friendly, that made us comfort to
talk with them. We made small talk and we took pictures together. We were very
thankful to meet them, because they’re very kind person. Then we must find
another one to complete the mission. We met someone, but he was reject us
because he had to go back quickly because his group had been waiting for him.
Then we looked for another tourist, we met two persons that we think they not
in hurry, but we got reject again because there were two groups before us had
been make conversation with them, and they didn’t want to do that again. So, we
must find another tourist. We walked around the temple; we met our friends from
other group. We decided to make conversation together in same person. We met
two girls from Australia. Their names are Catherin and Amanda. Catherin had
visited Borobudur sixth times, but Amanda for the first time came to Borobudur.
Catherin is English teacher in UGM. She did as a volunteer. They were all very
kind and friendly. Then we took a picture together.
Finally
our mission completed. Then we all took a rest for a while and we enjoyed the
scenery from the top of temple. That’s very beautiful. We took some pictures
again by our self. Then we left the temple around 1:30 pm, and then we looked
for some goods for souvenir. Then we went back to Semarang around 3 pm. We
arrived in UNISSULA around 6:30 pm.
All
our activities there will be my wonderful experience. I really want to back
there soon.
