The next tourist destination is to ride a jeep and head to the river with a happy and joyful feeling. In the river we rode a jeep until the jeep entered the river. After getting tired of walking around we took a shower and had lunch. After lunch and resting we continued our journey to the nearest souvenir shop, there are lots of typical Yogyakarta souvenirs that are affordable because that is where they are made. After buying lots of souvenirs, we went straight to Malioboro to take pictures, don't forget to visit the Vall de Brug Fort.

When we were about to leave for Bali, my whole family was very busy taking care of our departure. When we arrived at the airport we were waiting for our plane, at that time the conditions were very crowded and there was a small child who was missing. When we arrived in Bali we continued our journey to the hotel to put our things and rest. At night I was contacted by one of my friends who was on a study tour to Jogja. He told me what they were doing there and I also told them. It felt sad because I couldn't join them. But when the holiday was over and the study tour was over, we exchanged souvenirs and I received a lot of gifts. Even though we couldn't go on vacation together, we were able to share stories.

Last holiday, I went to Batu Malang with my father, mother, and older sibling. We visited a famous tourist attraction called the paragliding site. It was located on a hill with a beautiful view of the city below.

The experience that I remember most when I was in junior high school was when I took part in joint dance training with other schools, there I made lots of new friends and learned about the art of dance with other friends

The first exercise was to commemorate, Indonesian Independence day. At that time I could meet many friends and dance together. I am very happy to have this experience, because with this experience I can get information about the correct technique when dancing

In addition to the dancing experience, I also have the experience of traveling with school friends, outside of school activities. At that time my friends and I went to the Sekipan Tawangmangu tourist attraction, there we played haunted house tours, swimming, rich roms, flower gardens and many more. I was very happy when the vacation was running, after arriving home I wanted to go back to the time when I played together.

Our first destination was Prambanan Temple. When we arrived, we were amazed by the beauty and grandeur of the historic temple. We were accompanied by a tour guide who told us the story of Roro Jonggrang, and we took notes while occasionally laughing because a friend next to us was secretly taking selfies.

After that, we continued our journey to the Yogyakarta Palace (Keraton). There, we learned about the culture and history of the Yogyakarta Sultanate. We saw various heirlooms, paintings, and traditional clothing that made us appreciate the richness of our national heritage even more.

The most exciting part was when we stayed overnight and held a bonding night at a guesthouse near Kaliurang. There were fun games, gift exchanges, and even a heart-to-heart session with our teachers. That night felt so warm, and it brought us closer together.

We spent our last day at Malioboro, a place that’s always lively and full of color. We shopped for souvenirs, from Dagadu T-shirts to Bakpia Pathok. Of course, we took group photos under the "Jl. Malioboro" street sign as a memento.

Last year during the school holiday, my family and I decided to go on a vacation to Batu, Malang. We had planned this trip for weeks, and I was so excited because I had never been to Batu before. Early in the morning, we packed our bags and left home around 5 a.m. The journey from Madiun to Batu took about three hours by car.

When we arrived in Batu, the air felt so cool and fresh. It was very different from the hot weather in our city. Our first stop was Jatim Park 2, which includes Batu Secret Zoo and Museum Satwa. I really enjoyed walking around the zoo. There were so many kinds of animals—tigers, giraffes, birds, reptiles, and many others. I even got a chance to feed some deer and rabbits. At the Museum Satwa, I saw amazing animal displays and skeletons. The museum was very educational and interesting.

After that, we checked in to a hotel not far from the city center. The hotel was cozy, and we had a beautiful view of the mountains from our room. In the evening, we went to Batu Night Spectacular (BNS). The lights there were stunning! There were lantern gardens, colorful decorations, and lots of rides. I tried the Ferris wheel and could see the whole city from above. We also tried some local snacks like roasted corn and warm drinks to keep us warm.

The next day, we visited a strawberry farm. This was one of my favorite parts of the trip. I had never picked strawberries before, so it was a new experience for me. The farmers gave us small baskets, and we could pick as many strawberries as we liked. I took a lot of photos with my family, and the strawberries we picked tasted very sweet.

Before heading home, we stopped by Alun-Alun Batu. There were many food stalls and people enjoying their day. I bought some souvenirs like keychains and T-shirts to remember our trip.

This holiday was really unforgettable for me. I not only had fun, but I also learned new things and spent quality time with my family. I hope I can visit Batu again someday, and maybe explore more places like Coban Rondo Waterfall or Museum Angkut.

Last semester break, I, along with four of my friends - Hasya, Tata, Divania, and Zabrina - decided to go on holiday together to Yogyakarta. Instead of taking the train, the five of us took a car from Madiun. We left very early in the morning, around 3 am, so we could enjoy Jogja all day without staying overnight.

The trip was quite exciting, the car was filled with snacks, our favorite playlist, and random conversations that made us laugh continuously. Around 8 am, we arrived in Jogja and headed straight to our first destination: Sonobudoyo Museum.

This museum is perfect for us, because we all happen to love history! We were really excited to see the collection of objects from the past, such as keris, wayang, and traditional musical instruments. We had the chance to take a short tour with a guide who explained the origins of each collection. We also made batik celup there.

After being satisfied with going around the museum and having lunch near the town square, we continued to the next destination: a beach in the Gunung Kidul area. We chose one of the beaches with a really beautiful view-white sand, high cliffs, and clear blue sea as far as the eye can see.

Upon arrival, we were all busy with our own things. Tata and Zabrina were busy taking pictures for their Instagram feed, Hasya and Divania were walking along the beach while having a serious chat but also laughing, and I was sitting relaxed on a large rock while enjoying the sound of the waves. We all agreed that the view that day was incredibly beautiful. The sun began to set slowly, its light reflecting on the surface of the sea-it felt so peaceful.

The day ended with a trip back to Madiun while discussing how exciting this short trip was. Although it was only a day, it felt full of stories and laughter. This vacation was truly a precious memory that we will never forget.

Memories of Study Tour to Semarang During Junior High School At that time, I was still in 9th grade of junior high school. I felt so happy when the homeroom teacher announced that we would be going on a study tour to Semarang. I immediately imagined an exciting trip with friends, riding the bus while joking around, and of course, taking pictures at historical places. On the morning of departure, we all gathered at school since dawn. Backpacks full of snacks, cellphone cameras ready in hand, and overflowing with enthusiasm. The bus took us to our first destination: Lawang Sewu. The building is old and elegant, full of historical stories and mystical nuances. We had time to take pictures in the famous stained glass corridors—some went into the basement, some only dared to peek from the stairs. After that, we continued to Sam Poo Kong, a magnificent temple with a striking red color. We listened to the tour guide's explanation about Admiral Cheng Ho, while enjoying the cool afternoon air. Many of us rented traditional Chinese costumes to take pictures, the result? Funny and unique! That night, we stayed at a hotel. It wasn't sleep that we did, but the main card, chatting until late, some even pranked their roommates. The next morning, we went to Kota Lama, exploring old European-style buildings, then closed by visiting a famous souvenir shop in Semarang. The trip may have only been two days, but the memories felt like a lifetime. We returned home with tired faces, but hearts full of stories.

My friends and I left Madiun at 1 pm, passing through forests and cliffs and many roads with holes, about three hours of travel to

arrive at Srau Beach and rested at Srau 1 and waited for friends behind

My friends had come directly to Srau 3 and rented a tent there to stay for 1 day

and the next morning my friends and I played in the beach water

then took a shower and changed clothes and went back to Madiun when we went home

the weather was rainy and there was a landslide and arrived in Madiun at 4 pm

Last Sunday was one of the moments I will never forget. I decided to spend my short vacation in Sidoarjo, the city where my sister lives. My sister, who is a singer in a cafe, invited me to experience how exciting her work world is. Initially, I only intended to have a relaxing vacation, but it turned out that this vacation turned into a very memorable experience.

Upon arrival in Sidoarjo, I was greeted with the typical hospitality of this city. The first day, we spent time exploring several tourist attractions, such as the Lapindo Mud which is a unique icon, as well as a history lesson for us. Then we stopped by Alun-Alun Sidoarjo, a place full of delicious snacks, from lontong kupang to young coconut ice

However, the most thrilling moment happened on the second night of my vacation. My sister got a turn to perform at a cozy cafe located in the middle of the city. She invited me to join her, not only as an audience, but also to try singing with her. I was hesitant, because even though I like singing, this was my first time performing in front of people I didn't know. When we arrived at the cafe, the atmosphere was very cozy. The dim lights and acoustic music made the place so lively, but still relaxed. My sister started with the opening song, and after a few songs, she introduced me to the audience. My heart beat faster as I went up to the small stage. With my sister playing the guitar, I sang our favorite song, "rumah" by salma salsabil.

Unexpectedly, the audience seemed to enjoy my performance. Some of them even sang along. After finishing, they clapped, making me feel incredibly happy and relieved. My brother said that I did well, even a visitor approached us and said that our voices blended very harmoniously. The night ended with a feeling of pride and satisfaction. I felt that I had surpassed my own limits and gained a new, invaluable experience. This holiday to Sidoarjo was not only about the places I visited, but also about the courage to try something new and share precious moments with the people I love.
