holidayyyy

Have you ever gone travelling? Some people say that travelling is the most pleasing thing to do. Do you agree?

Holiday is the time where I can do whatever I want and less care about anything and of course forget about school. Too bad my school didn't let me do that, my school loved me so much to the point where they didn't want me having holiday without any task.

So, before I enjoyed it. I must finished it first. It wasn't as easy as I thought so instead of finishing it on my own until the rest of my life. I went to my uncle place who is a little bit major on this so called 'gamtek'. We finished it only for five hours or so. The monochromatic turned out not really that bad because of his help.

Here is my monochromatic task:

The first week of holiday I spent it with lazed around, sleeping and enjoyed the time as much as I can. We went nowhere because my parents job had been pilled up because of the end of the year nearly come.

In order to replaced time where they can not spent it with us , we went to Bali Island with my family. I was so excited until the point of I couldn't have enough sleep even though it is not the first time I went there. I didn't know why but it seems that I couldn't get bored of this island. The first thing which came to my mind at the first time I arrived at Ngurah Rai Airport was beach. When I stepped out from the plane, the smell of sea water already creep into my mind. It made me more excited to start our vacation. My family and I visited many interesting places in Bali. Even though there are so many beaches in Bali, I was not bored with them because each beach was have their own kind of way to show their beauty.

Tanah Lot is a rocky beach with wild waves. It has big caves and rocks surround the beach. Uluwatu lies on the top of cliff. From that place we could see the sea view which was the most gorgeous scenery I have ever seen.

Kuta Beach is maybe the most famous beach in Bali. There were both local and foreign tourists surfing or just sun bathing. The best time to come to Kuta Beach is in the evening to see the sun set. It was so romantic, even though we went there with family we can still feel the romantic.

Tanjung Benoa is a very nice beach. The wind and waves were just right to do water sport. I did not want to miss this chance and tried to do parasailing. At first, I was so afraid because I would be flying high. It was my first time to do this kind of sport even though it was not the first time I went here. It turned out that when I was 'flying', I enjoyed it very much. I could see the view of the city from the sky, and it was very gorgeous.

Beside the beaches, Bali Island is also famous for its culture. I could see it from the Balinese's life. Along the road I saw that almost all buildings have small pura at the front side. Every morning, they always pray and put sajen, or offerings, at their pura, house, shop, or even in their car. I also saw the abundance of Balinese culture through the well known dances of Bali, Barong and Kecak.

Barong Dance tells about a fight between good and evil, between Barong and Rangda. At the end, Barong won, and Rangda ran away. I was amazed by the female dancers. They were so beautiful and their movements were supple, yet energetic at the same time. In the evening, I watched Kecak Dance. The story in Kecak Dance is taken from Ramayana. I had the impression that Kecak Dance was mystical but also astonishing at the same time.

At the end of the trip, we went to Sukawati Market to buy souvenirs for ourselves and friends.You could find almost anything about Bali in Sukawati Market. I found a lot of things there and spent almost all of my pocket money. What make this market special are the friendly sellers and friendly price. The goods are so cheap if you know how to bargain.

Finally, we have come to the end of my trip in Bali.I felt that time run so fast. I was so sad because I had to leave that beautiful place. In Bali, I did not only visit beautiful places but I also learned about its culture. I would always remember my beautiful trip in Bali and promised myself to go back there again another time.

THE END-
