Dear Mely,

Im sorry, I havent written for so long. My family and I have just returned from an interesting
holiday at Lake Maninjau near Padang. The lake was a crater surrounded by dense forests and rice
fileds. We swam in the lake, ate fish from the lake and enjoyed the cool breezes.

After that, we had a two hour trip to Bukittinggi, a small hill top town which was clean, cool
and friendly. Our trip around the hill took us to the coffee, clove and cinnamon plantation.the
traditional Minangkabau houses, with the roof shaped like a buffalos horn can be seen everywhere.

I really enjoy my vacation. Do come over and have a look sometimes

Love,

Tiara

Dear Diana,

How are you? Hope everything went well with you there. As you know Ive been studying in Sydney
for three months, and I started to feel more accustomed to everything I face here. I know this is my
best decision I ever made: I learnt a lot, met so much friendly people, and had a great time! I learned
a lot especially about different cultures, ways of living and of course about myself.

If you have the opportunity to study abroad, I would highly recommend it. If you have the
opportunity, get out of your comfort zone and step into your next adventure!

Love,

Gani
