Traveling to East Java
Example:

It was interesting. First, we flew by Garuda Airlines to Surabaya city. There we spent one night traveling around the Singapore of Surabaya. It was late when we ate Chinese food and saw Contemporary Dance in Double Happiness Restaurant near the city center. The next day, we continued our trip to Malang city where we visited the Alun-alun Park, and the Bird Market and all of the tourist attractions in the city, then the next morning we went to Mount Bromo to see the Kesodo ritual. Before leaving for Jakarta, we went Bakso bakar restaurant in Candi Trowulan street of Malang city. |
| Mother | Did you enjoy the vacation? |
| Girl | Yes, I did. Although the weather was very hot in Surabaya, the food there was delicious and the people were very friendly. |
