Dear Wirtomo,

Sydney 2000June 5, 1996

Thank you for your second letter. It is interesting to read about 'the farming tools used by farmers in your village.

Unlike the farmers in your village, most farmers in my country use machines to help them work. The machines are very useful since most farms are very big. They use tractors to plow the land. Another machine is a seed drill; it makes holes in the ground, then it drops seeds into them, it may even drop a smart amount of fertilizer with each seed. Farmers with very large farm sometimes use planes to plant seed. They also use planes to spray chemical onto me rice fields. When harvest time comes they lads use a machine called a 'combine' to cut the rice. It also separates the rice kernels from the stalks. You know that a 'combine' can harvest more grain than 2000 people working by hand.

Well, that's alt for this time. I am looking forward to receiving another letter from you.

Dear Enny,

Thank you for your letter of 15 May. Sorry I did not reply your letter sooner. I’ve been very busy lately.

Every school holiday I have to visit my grandmother in Pakujati, a village at the foot of Mount Slamet in Central Java. Sometimes I go there with my parents. Last holiday we visited them again. We went there by train. Let me tell you something about it.

Warmly yours, Denny

Dear Mom and Dad,

I am writing to share my enjoyable experience with you. I hope this letter will find you all well. Yesterday Budi’s classmates and I went to visit five tourist objects in Yogyakarta and its

surrounding e.g. the Sultan Palace, Tamansari Water Castle, Yogya Kembali Monument, Prambanan Temple, and Borobudur Temple. We hired a mini bus. Budi, my closest friend in Yogya, 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 moreinteresting than the others. Borobudur is a Buddhist temple, while Prambanan is a Hindu one. A friend of mine said that these two temples were really wonderful. After I saw them by myself, they are even more wonderful than what I have imagined. Of these two objects, Borobudur is the most wonderful object I have ever seen. It is much bigger than Prambanan; it is one of the biggest temples in the world. No wonder it is famous throughout the world. Everyone there looked very amazed by this huge building. I am sure you will admire it, too. Make sure you take your camera with you when you visit it next year.

Well, I will write to you again next week to tell you more about the temples mentioned above. Said that the two temples were really.

Bukittinggi20th April 2005

Dear Ghea,My brother and I are in Bukittinggi now. We arrived here on Sunday morning at five. It was

already busy, probably because of the holidays. We went directly to the remains of “De Kock Fortress’ and found a lot of people jogging along this area. We took a rest here, sitting under the tree and enjoyed at the fresh air.

It was almost 6.30. We went to a famous “warung”, called “Pical si Kai”. Here we had coffee, “pical”, “ketupat gulai”, etc. Because all hotels had been full, we rented a room in a house nearby. The room was quite nice. The bathroom was clean enough and the rent was not too expensive.

At about eight we went to “Sianok” valley. It is such a very beautiful valley. On the bank of the valley there is a long cave, called “Japanese cave”. It is very long. It goes deeply into the ground with an entrance at one end, and an exit at the other end. The people here said that a long time ago the cave was used by the Japanese army to protect themselves from the Dutch attack. At that time it seemed that there was nothing in the ground. Both the entrance and the exit were covered by plants.

Well that’s all about our first day in Bukittinggi. We are going to visit “Lake Maninjau”, “Lembah Anai Falls”, etc. the next day. Hope to be here someday with you. Please, reply soon.
