Dear Mom and Dad,

I am writing to share my enjoyable experience with you. I hope this letter will find you all well. Yesterday, my
friends and i went to visit five tourism objects in Jojakarta and its surrrounding, e.g. the Sultan Palace, Tamansari
Water Castle, Monumen Yogja Kembali, Prambanan Temple, and Borobudur Temple. We hired a mini bus. Budi,
my friend in Yogyakarta, acted as a tour guide. We departed very early in the morning and were back home at 6:15
p.m. So, we spent the whole day.

All of the five objects are interesting but Borobudur and Prambanan temples are more interesting than the others.
Borobudur is a Buddhist temple, while Prambanan is a Hindu one. A freind of mine said that these two temples were
really wonderful. After I saw them by myself, they are even more wonderful than what imagined. Of these two
temples, Borobudur is the most wonderful temple I have ever seen. It is much bigger than Prambanan. I am sure you
will admire it too. Make sure you take your camera with you when you visit it next year.

John
