Oleh : Gustaf Qabil Dhamiri (8F)
Hello everyone, introducing my name is Gustaf Qabil Dhamiri, I will share my pleasant experience yesterday when I went to Jogjakarta with Grade 8 students of Junior High School of Tuban to study literacy. it all started when I was at home preparing the items that I would take with me for a trip to Jogjakarta, after all the items were prepared I put them in my bag.
at 17.00 I started heading to school, at school I also talked with my friends to wait for the bus to come, after the bus arrived all grade 8 students were gathered in the middle of the field to be briefed and prayed before leaving, after the briefing all students were told get on the bus and put their belongings in the bus garage in turn,
After everything is finished the bus starts to leave for the location it will go to, namely Yogyakarta, the travel time is approximately around 7 to 8 hours.
I sat with my classmate named Syafiq. he is very very exciting, funny, and loves to joke. during the trip too many children volunteered to sing so that the travel time would not be boring, after the children had fun on the bus everyone started to fall asleep because the sky was starting to show night time.
Only half way through the bus suddenly stopped at the toll road rest area, and the children woke up and I woke up too. I got off the bus to look for the bathroom and after I was like I was looking for a minimarket, at the minimarket I shopped for things in the form of snacks for snacks on the way so it wouldn’t be boring, from the minimarket I returned to the bus and the bus started traveling again.
After a long journey, the bus arrived at the Sekar Kedhaton restaurant at 04.30, where all the students got off to perform the morning prayer at the mosque. the children went in to eat before heading to the rafting place after everyone had finished eating the party from elo rafting came to do checking and briefings, we were also invited to exercise as a warm-up so we wouldn’t get sleepy on the way, also taking pictures with the coaches.
Public transportation started arriving with rubber boats placed on top of the numbers. The children were told to take turns getting on the public transportation.
When traveling from the Sekar Kedhaton restaurant to elo rafting I also enjoyed the view of the city of Magelang, after arriving at the Elo River we were told to wear safety equipment such as helmets and life jackets, after everyone arrived we were lined up for a briefing before going down to the river and boarding the boat rubber boats, where we are taught how to hold the dipper and sit properly while in the rubber boats, after everything is explained the children are told to take turns going down to the river to get on the rubber boats, the children are told to sit under the rubber with their roommates, one boat rubber can accommodate 5 people, 1 professional rower and 4 visitors.
there I boarded the last boat, even though I was still happy and was able to catch up with my friends who had boarded first, there I went along the Elo River for 10 km accompanied by a professional rower, and it turned out that the professional rower was very fun to joke with so that the four of us in a room were not bored when rowing to catch up with friends who had gone down the river first, there we passed through a very fast river current and our clothes were all wet because we were hit by a very fast water current which collided with the rubber boat lining, in the middle on our journey we stop somewhere to drink very fresh coconuts so that our stamina and physique don’t run out while rowing 10 km, another excitement is when we meet each other’s boats, we splash each other, after we go down the river elo, we also arrived at the last stop, after arriving at the place the last stop we went up again to find the angkot that we were riding earlier, after meeting the cabbage we went back to the Sekar Kedhaton Restaurant, there was more excitement when riding the cabbage, because the cabbage was going fast without the slightest scrambling, and finally we arrived again at Sekar Kedhaton restaurant.
after arriving at the Sekar Kedhaton restaurant at around 10.30, at Sekar Kedaton we were told to take a bath/clean up because we were already wet, after everyone finished bathing and the students checked their belongings, the students waited for a while to prepare for the bus to go, after all the bus was ready to go.

Me and my friend started leaving the hotel to go to Malioboro, when I arrived at Malioboro there we walked around on foot enjoying the atmosphere of Malioboro, and I also bought a snack in the form of ice cream at Mixue, there were many clothes shops and food shops, actually there was a spot for food vendors in Maliobor, namely entering a gate whose architectural design is like buildings in China, but I didn’t have time to enter it because it was getting late, after walking around Malioboro at 20.00 I started to return to the hotel again to rest and I slept around 22.00.

At 04.30 I started to wake up from my sleep to perform the prayer, namely the dawn prayer, after the dawn prayer I waited for breakfast time, which was 06.00 which was provided by Hotel Cordella. After I waited a while, finally breakfast arrived and I immediately rushed down to the Cordella Hotel restaurant. After I finished eating, I immediately rushed back to the hotel room. In fact, many children were waiting before checking out of the hotel by walking. walking in Malioboro, but I’m lazy to get off and prefer to stay at the hotel with my roommates. I spent the waiting time packing and putting the things I had taken out into my bag so that when check out time came, I just had to leave the room and go down to the hotel lobby. at 10.00 all students were ordered to go down to the hotel and be collected to take pictures with their respective classes, after taking pictures all the children were told to put their belongings in the trunk of the bus and then get on the bus immediately, after all that was done the bus started to continue its journey to Omah Oblomg.
