​My last Holiday

​

Last holiday, exactly two months ago, I went to Bandung with my best friend, Anna. We decided to have a trip there for three days long. Luckily, I and Anna had the same interest in places that we would like to visit. That made the trip easier and more fun!

We didn’t have any plans on the first day because we arrived at 5 p.m. by bus. At that moment, we were tired and decided to have some rest in our hotel. Woke up in the middle of the night, we realized we had missed dinner. But, Anna suggested ordering food online and watching horror series together instead.

The next day, we rented a motorbike. After that, we visited a beautiful place named Punclut. It was a little far from our hotel. But trust me, we were astonished the first second we got there! The view was amazing and we couldn’t handle taking many pictures. As time went by, it was getting colder so we had to warm ourselves by drinking chamomile tea.

We had dinner at a seafood restaurant. Anna ate a bowl of fish soup while I enjoyed my grilled salmon and green mussels. The taste was fantastic yet we knew that we were satisfyingly full. On our way back to the hotel, we bought some traditional snacks from Bandung to accompany us while binge-watching good movies.

Our last day came that fast. We packed our things in the very morning and took the last trip to Farm House. After taking pictures, we moved to another place where we bought more traditional snacks and souvenirs for our family members back home. At approximately 5 p.m., we returned the motorbike and went home by bus.

Since we arrived at 12 p.m., Anna decided to sleepover at my house. We still talked about our fun times in Bandung and shared pictures. We really wanted to go there next time. Bandung was amazing after all!

During a study tour in Bali in 2015, there were two places that caught my attention the most, namely Penglipuran Traditional Village and Tampak Siring Palace. The village is very beautiful and peaceful. There are many gates that are the gates for every house there.

Along the way, you will find many flowers that are neatly lined up on each of the residents’ houses. The scenic spots there are all beautiful, you can take photos in any corner.

After walking around the village, my friend and I saw a villager that was painting on a red cloth. I have never met the motif of the painting, maybe because so far I have only focused on painting cloth or batik cloth with Javanese patterns (Pekalongan). I tried painting on cloth, although I was not good at it, at least my grandmother had taught me how to paint on cloth. After making batik, I bought the batik cloth and I was taught how to wear it. Given the shape of the cloth, it is not like an ordinary cloth.

On the last day of the study tour, we visited the Tampak Siring Presidential Palace. This palace is located in Gianyar Regency, Bali. The Palace of Tampak Siring is very large, in which there are many buildings and rooms that have their respective uses, such as the building that is usually used for meetings. If you walk any further, you will find an alley with a depth of 5 meters. It is said that the passageway was used by residents to get to the temple and the Tirta Empul spring.
