The Two-week-holiday in Kediri

A-two-week-holiday in Kediri was great! Even it was more like study-day, LOL. I went there by train with my college friends on July 9th after the President Election. We got there the next day and had "sahur" at our friend's house. It was a tiring day and we overslept until noon. At 1 p.m we arrived at English Camp, Pare and had our registration fulfilled. My girl friend and I took the speaking and TOEFL classes while the boys had grammar, vocabulary, and speaking classes. After that, we checked in at our own camp.

We started our English lessons the next day, started at 7 a.m and finished at 4 p.m with a two-hour-break. Since we stayed in a camp, we had to obey every rules such as speak English every day, clean the whole camp, join every night programs, and must be at the camp before 10 p.m. It was actually like the dormitory days in college, so we got along well.

Since it was Ramadhan, the time of supper (sahur) and breakfasting were scheduled. We had our supper before 4.30 a.m and had breakfasting at 5.30 p.m. Not a lot of difference with the Ramadhan time schedule in Bogor. While breakfasting, we were having a culinary tour,LOL.

After a few days of studying, we had our final test on the last day. For the speaking class, I gave a presentation about Woman's Leadership and for the TOEFL class, I got a great final score, but it wasn't my best. I was satisfied with my own result.

Anyway, for the holiday, the four of us went to Simpang Lima Gumul. Actually, our first target was going to Kelud by motorcycle, but we got lost along the way. It was also raining hard and we got soaked. Pity, I wore off my new jeans and had my socks all red. I was ridiculed by my friends. After that, we continued the trip to Kili Suci Park. The park looked like Kencana Park in Bogor,LOL.

The day after the final test, my girl friend and I went to Kelud by our new friends. Too bad, the boys can't make it because they had a final test to do. It was a two-hour-trip to Kelud with six motorcycles. Since my girl friend and I had to go back early, we didn't continue the trip with them.

Before we went back home, we had a trip around Kediri. We visited the Sanglangeng Cave *if I'm not mistaken, went through the Djarum Factory, and bought a shirt. Finally, after breakfasting, we went back to Bogor by train. We couldn't thanked our friend and his family enough for everything :")

So, we spent the rest of Ramadhan at home with our own family. It was a really great experience and had made my holiday :)
