↝Holiday in Jakarta

Last holiday, I went to my brother’s home in Jakarta. I went to Jakarta with my father. We went to Jakarta city by the train. Jakarta it was very interesting, but the atmosphere was too hot for me.

A few days later, my brother and I went to the zoo in Jakarta. We went to the zoo by taxi. The zoo was very crowded. There were many traders. After bought the ticket, we went to see the animal in the zoo. First, I saw many pelican birds. They were very hungry, so the zoo keeper fed the bird.

Then I saw many deer eaten many hay. In the same cage, I saw ostrich. It was very big. It couldn’t fly but could run very fast. Its stomach was very big too. After that, we went to take the boat which was pictured with the image of goose.

Before went back home, we bought some drink and food. We rested in a restroom. I was very happy it this holiday. I hoped the next holiday would be good too.
