The First Day of (Elementary) School

The first day of school can be probably tough for parents and especially for the children, but with some preparation it will not be too difficult for us to deal with the situation. When the children are ready to enter elementary school, the children have to be toilet-trained, also they should eat their meals by them self, because it would be different when they're still in kindergarten. So, we need to practice those skills and make the children used-to.

July, 1st was Vito's first day at elementary school. I thought he would be nervous about starting, some children worried in their first day, but Vito's a sociable boy. He got a boost to adapt well and make some friends. In the first week, the students attend for half a day. The days after, they will be at school for full-day from 08.00 AM - 15.30 PM.

Whatever the child's reaction, the teachers will have seen it all. In Vito's school there was a psychology test before, so they have a system to help children how to adjust. The children seem really excited, enjoyed, and happy.

My Experience Visiting Borobudur

Borobudur temple is one of the premier tourist objects in Indonesia. Several years ago I decided to go to Yogyakarta as a destination for cultural tourism. I had the opportunity to get into Keraton Yogyakarta, it's such a priceless experience. Then I scheduled a visit to Borobudur and Prambanan temples. My experience visiting Borobudur temple was quite exciting. From Yogyakarta I headed to Borobudur in the morning, after breakfast at the hotel. Borobudur is located about 40 km from the city of Yogyakarta or about 100 km from Semarang. Administratively Borobudur including the district of Magelang, Central Java. So many people thought that Borobudur is located in Yogyakarta, it is actually located in Magelang.
