Manado, February 20th 2020Dear Natania,

How are you? It's been two months since I last heard from you. I just wanted to tell you that I was in Solo last week. My nephew, Aldo, invited me to go to Sekaten because there was Sekaten in Solo. It made me cheerful.

At the Sekaten, I bought a cotton candy or arum manis. It tastes like marshmallow. Besides, I bought dodol, a typical food from Central Java. It is so sticky but the taste was very sweet. I also took some photos.

On the last day, I was not healthy. It was due to too much walking. I was taken to a hospital. I had to stay in the hospital for 3 hours. Now, I understand that holiday is for taking a rest and not for walking too much.

think that's all from me now. Let me I hear from you soon.

Love,

Meika

One Day in Baturaden

One day in Baturaden was unforgettable moment. The students of SMP 1 and the teachers went to the beautiful and interesting tourist resort for having a farewell party. We arrived there at five in the morning. The fresh and cold air touched our skin and made us move and ran without control. At five thirteen, we walked to reach the resort. It is a place where we can see the clean water in a small river, a mountain surrounded by the green pines and the sky that was always cloudy. In the location, there were also some places for entertainment.

Near the top of the mountain, the party was started by the committee at seven. They managed how the ceremony ran.

The first chance was given to me as the representative of the students. I presented a short speech. I gave a high appreciation to the kindness and patience of the whole teachers. To end my speech I hoped they released us to leave our beloved school and go to the higher level of education.

The headmaster replied me with a rather long speech. He hoped us to keep on studying He also asked us not to be a lazy young generation. We must be diligent to study wherever we go to after leaving SMP 1. After the ceremony finished at eight thirty, we sang together and closed it by shaking hands one another. And then we went on climbing up the mountain to see the beautiful landscape from the top of the mountain.
