Dear Johnson,

My classmates and I went to visit Prambanan Temple on my last school holiday. Prambanan Temple is one of the big temples in my country. The biggest temple in my country is Borobudur Temple. However, Prambanan Temple is very good and wonderful.

There are many reliefs on the walls of the temples. The guide told us that the reliefs tell stories related to the temples. Many visitors from my country and from other countries come here to see the temples, take some pictures, and learn the history.

It was a really nice experience! I hope you can come here and visit Prambanan Temple someday.

Yours,

Mira

It began one afternoon, when I visited my grandmother for lunch. By the time I went home, she hadbooked me a ticket to the neighbouring island of Lombok for her friend’s funeral. Couple of days later, I found myself sitting inside a propeller plane for the first time. Anyway, we landed at an unexpected place. This island has a better airport than the more popular. It didn’t stop there. The roads were big and clean. I mean seriously. This island is quiet modern.   Oh, I almost forgot to mention. We had hired a private driver for our entire 3 day trip and he was extremely helpful. Not only is he a good and fast driver, but he knows his island. Every question my curious dad asked him, he could answer. It felt like we had Wikipedia as a driver.      What I liked most about Lombok is that it’s not as directed towards international tourists, but locals, the mindset of the people wasn’t as rough as of the Balinese. However, I did come across one where a lady tried to sell cheap batik on a deserted beach for RP200,000 (AUD$20). My granddad almost bought it out of pity, but my grandma dragged him out of it. As he turned his back on her, the lady said okay! RP15,000 (AUD$1.50). What a difference! But eventually, being the kind-hearted person my granddad is, he bought 5 pieces. That’s a great experience
