as Papuma Beach, Watu Ulo Beach, Watu Ondo, Pancer Beach, Rembangan, and so on.
Jember also has a famous carnival, named Jember Fashion Carnaval. It is an international
annual fashion carnival which usually held in August. Beside some beautiful places and a
famous carnival, Jember also has a unique culture. People usually called it as
Pendhalungan. Pendhalungan is an acculturation culture between Javanese and
Maduranese. Jember has a total area of 3,293.34 km2. Because of that, it creates a different
culture between North Jember and South Jember. In North Jember, there are a lot of
 Maduranese people and they usually speak Maduranese. On the other hand, In South

My First Trip to Pari Island

Last September, I went to Pari Island for a holiday. I went there with Sarah, Andi, Eveline,
and Yoko. That was my first time to travel there.

Our boat departed from Muara Angke port to the island at 8.00 AM. We arrived at Pari
Island around 10.00 Am. After that, we went to our guest house that we had booked
before. Fortunately, our guest house was located near to the port, so we did not have to
walk so far. The first thing that we did after that was rent bicycle. It only cost IDR 20.000
per day. Then we did cycling for a while and had lunch before we decided to do
snorkeling.

When we went snorkeling, the fisherman who became our guide brought us to the beach
far enough from our guest house. We did snorkeling there. The water was very clear. We
could see groups of tiny fishes and beautiful coral under the sea. After we did snorkeling
for approximately three hours, we returned to our guest house. We ended up the first day
by getting dinner and took some walks around.

On the second day, we woke up so early to watch sunrise. We did not need to go far to
watch the sunrise because our guest house was so near to the beach and we could watch
the sunrise there. Sunrise on the beach, what a beautiful view!

After we spent long enough time to watch the sunrise, we decided to get breakfast. There
was a festival at that time. We went to the festival and had breakfast there. We ate some
delicious sea foods. We felt time went so fast that day. We needed to return to our guest
house because our boat that would bring us home would depart at 10.00 AM.

In summary, my first trip to Pari Island was so enjoyable. I would like to visit this place
again together with my family in another chance.
