Last week was a hectic week. I have been touring East Java and Bali. There were somany

room was clean and I cloud get hot water to bathe. On Monday , I went with a tour group to visit
Borobudur and the Hindu tamples in Prambanan. Some of these tamples are more than twelve
hundred years old. They date well beyond the churches in my hometown in Europe, I was
amazed at the enormity of the construction. I’m sure they did not have today to raise and lay
those huge blocks of stone. The carvings on the walls were another feature of the construction.
I’m getting used to the spicy food served here. I have eaten fresh fish, lamb, and beef. I
know you dont eat all this but I’ve got used to it. On Tuesday i decided to go for a hike to Mount
Merapi. But I found out that it was a difficult climb. So I went to the forest park in kaliurang.
That was a lovely walk that made m hot and tired. But I managed to cool off in waterfall in the
park then walked up to a hill nearby where I could see the smokey, fiery Mount Merapi.

Human body is made up of contless million of cells. Food is needed to build up new cells
and replace the worn out. Howover, the food we take must be changed into subtances that can be
carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes places in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into
small pieces by the action of teeth, mixed with salvia containing digestive juices which moisten
the food, so that it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus-the food passage into the stomach.
Here the food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours.
Then the food enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular wall of intestine are
squeezing, mixing, and moving the food on wards.
In few hours, the food changes into acids. The acids are soon absorbed by the villi
(microscopic branch projection from the intestine walls) and passed into bloodstream.
