My Beloved Hometown

              I was born in Semarang. Semarang is the capital city of Central Java. It is one of some big cities in Indonesia.

               I have lived in Semarang for my whole life, nearly for 20 years. Although I already lived in there for years, I still don’t know much about Semarang. But there are some beauty places in Semarang that I know. There are some tourism places in here, many of them are very popular in Indonesia. The first place is ‘Tugu Muda’ which located in Simpang Lima. It is a statue that is very identical with Semarang. It is a symbol for commemorating the five-days battle in Semarang. The second place is ‘The Immanuel Protestan Church’, known by people as ‘Gereja Blenduk’, which is the oldest Protestant Church in Central Java. The next place that looks very awesome for me is Semarang State University, also known as Unnes. Yes, I’m a commuter. My college is in my hometown. Because I lived in Gunungpati, I think it is better if I am continuing my study at Unnes, one of the best college in Semarang. I choose Unnes because Unnes is just about 15 minutes from my house and I don’t have to live in the dormitory. Another reason is because I still can help my family everyday and not being separated from them. In spite of the three places that I had mentioned before, there are another interesting places in Semarang that pull many tourists, such as Lawang Sewu, Sam Poo Kong, Gua Kreo, and many more.

              I am very happy living in a very beautiful city named Semarang.
