Rafting Time (Elo River, MAGELANG)

I would like to share my experience with my friends, this story is about one of tour object in Magelang. Actually I dont remember exactly the date when we were exploring that site. I checked meta description of my photos in there and the date show in 2009, it means 2 years ago. The object that we visited is a Elo River which is used for rafting. We went there because of my curiuosity about that place, so I decided to invite my friends that interested in rafting. Its difficult enough to find 12 people in order to accept my invitation. We left from Yogya by bike. The journey to reach that place is only about one hour. Elo River is good for beginner like me, hehe.. There are some river in Magelang, if you want to try more challenge you can try the next level. The condition is different from Elo River, in Elo the flows is so quite and there is no many obstacle. In the middle of rafting, we took a rest in a cottage. In there we were given some foods and drink. If you like advanture and challenge you have to try this one! Besides the cost is not expensive.

One Day in Semarang

I would like to share my experience when I went to Semarang City, the capital of easy java. Actually this is not my idea, but my girlfriend and her friends idea. I just agreed to come along with them, moreover I didn't have any activity at that time. hehe..
We went to Semarang from Yogyakarta around 8 am. The journey was funny very much because we talked one another about everything lol. The day was Friday, the boys did jumat prayer in the middle of the way. Hmm.. If Im not wrong, we did it before arrived in Semarang, stopped in one of mosque around Ambarawa (maybe).

The first place which we visited was Sam Poo Kong. Its a chinnese temple to worship. Of course we took many pictures in there hehe. Actually it was my first time went together with my girlfriend friends. I was bit shy and not enjoy. In Semarang many chinnese who live and stay in there. After visiting this place, we move to one of the scariest place in east java. The name of that building is Lawang Sewu. Lawang Sewu in java means one thousand doors. Supposedly there are one thousand doors in Lawang Sewu. Firstly this place is used as train office central in Dutch colonial period. The function of this building has changed since Japan took control Indonesia. Many people were killed in underground passage. Can you imagine it, how your feel if you stay in there by yourself.

The last destination is kota lama (old city). That place usually is used to take some pictures because the background and environment is good. Unfortunately, we didnt have many times because it was one night before christmas. Yaa, there is a church near kota lama, so some places which have great background cannot be entered. Perhaps next time Im going to there again, but just my girlfriend and I. hehe..

For your information, at the time we had eaten for three times with the same side dishes but different in kind lol. We ate soybean curd. There are many variant soybean curd in Semarang.
