Dear Mom and Dad,
I am writing to share my enjoyable experience with you. I hope this letter will find you all well.
Yesterday, my friends and i went to visit five tourism objects in Jojakarta and its surrrounding, e.g. the
Sultan Palace, Tamansari Water Castle, Monumen Yogja Kembali, Prambanan Temple, and Borobudur
Temple. We hired a mini bus. Budi, my friend in Yogyakarta, acted as a tour guide. We departed very
early in the morning and were back home at 6:15 p.m. So, we spent the whole day.

All of the five objects are interesting but Borobudur and Prambanan temples are more interesting than
the others. Borobudur is a Buddhist temple, while Prambanan is a Hindu one. A freind of mine said that
these two temples were really wonderful. After I saw them by myself, they are even more wonderful than
what imagined. Of these two temples, Borobudur is the most wonderful temple I have ever seen. It is
much bigger than Prambanan. I am sure you will admire it too. Make sure you take your camera with you
when you visit it next year.

Well, I will write letter to you again next week to tell you more about the temples.

Love,

John
