A Diary, "My Holiday"

Dear My Lovely Blog,

It's been a while since my family going on vacation together!

It was a long long vacation so my family decided to visit my sister in Yogyakarta. We went there by bus. And apparently my brother-in-law's family also came to Yogyakarta.

We all stayed at my sister's house. It was cramped, but it was fun to know each other more. To spend holidays, we went to many places such as Sindu Kusuma Education Park (or well known as SKE/Edupark), Trans Studio Mini, and Puri Mataram.

The first thing we can think about was went to Sindu Kusuma Education Park because it was the nearest recreational place from home. SKE have a lot of game rides. We played a lot. Even my father playing along and won the dolls for us ♡​

It was already cloudy in the morning. But, in the afternoon, the weather became worse so we decided to go home. It was too late, the rain came even before we reach the exit :(

I have taken a few photos there \(´▽`)/

A few days after that, we went to Trans Studio Mini. Trans Studio Mini is just like Trans Studio in Bandung or Makassar, full of games. Trans Studio Mini Yogyakarta is located in 3rd floor of Transmart Mall. It's called 'mini' because it only has a small area. But it has no different from the original because we still can have a lot of fun with the game rides. It even has a roller coaster! We rode it and my father said that our screaming was very loud it even distracted other people from their activities. I was so embarrassed to hear that!

We played a lot of games and got so many coupons which can be exchanged for items such as dolls or small notebooks as a souvenir from Trans Studio Mini.

And the last recreation area we visited was Puri Mataram. Puri Mataram is a recreation area that provides a lot of places to take pictures and of course we took a lot of pictures until the sun set. We had so much fun there!

After the sun set, we had meals at a restaurant in Puri Mataram. I ordered fried chicken even though there was so many choice to  be ordered.

It was a very good holiday. I enjoyed it so much!

Last Sunday Yuda and Agung visited Gembira Loka Zoo in Yogyakarta. It is the most famous zoo in Yogyakarta. In this zoo they enjoyed many kinds of animals range from small reptiles, birds, to big mammals rang. The are from many regions in Indonesia and some from abroad. There are tigers from Sumatra, one horned rhinos from Java, elephants from Lampung and giraffes from Africa, etc. They are placed in many blocks.

Firstly, Yuda and Agung enjoyed Sumatran tigers. The are not placed on the wired cages, but in rather large place. The can room in an open space. The visitors can see them from the upper places. Some of them throw some food in the tiger, but they didn't eat it. Yuda and Agung gave them some fish and they ate it.

After being satisfied to enjoy Sumatran tigers, they continue to the next block. In this block they enjoyed some other big mammals like hippotamus and giraffes from Africa, anoa from Sulawesi, bears from China and elephants from Lampung.
