Orangutan
Orangutans are great apes from Indonesia. Orangutan means man of the forest. They live in
Sumatra and Borneo. The scientific name of Orangutan from Northern Sumatra is Pongo Abelii and the
scientific name of Orangutan from Borneo is Pongo Pygmaeus.
Orangutans have big bodies. A male orangutan can be more than 100 kilograms and can be quite
tall. His height can be up to 150 centimeters tall. Female orangutans are smaller and shorter than the
males. A mature female orangutan’s weight is about 40 kilograms. Her height is about 120 centimeters
tall.
Orangutans have reddish brown hair. Unlike monkeys, they do not have tails. They have strong
arms. They use their arms to swing between branches.
Orangutans live with their small family groups. They usually live in the tree branches where they
build their nests. Orangutans’ favorite food is fruits. They also eat insects, honey, bird eggs, bark, and
plants. They sometimes eat meat too. When they are thirsty, they sometimes drink the water from holes in
the tree branches.
Orangutans are an endangered species because their habitat is threatened by people doing
deforestation. The number of Bornean orangutans around 2017 was estimated at about 104,000 and the
Sumatran orangutans about 7,500.

Explore Labuan Bajo
Last semester, my school held an excursion to explore Labuan Bajo. It was a full day trip. Labuan
Bajo is a hidden paradise situated in eastern Indonesia. We departed from school early in the morning so
we could do many activities.
The first place we visited was Wae Rana beach. It is a small beach, located between Binongko
beach and Wae Cecu beach. We enjoyed the sunrise there. Too bad, people were not aware of the
cleanliness. Litter was everywhere. The sunrise was beautiful, though. After enjoying the sunrise, we had
breakfast. After we finished our breakfast, we went snorkelling. It was the first time for me to see sharks
of all kinds. We could also see the underwater creatures, like bright coral, manta rays, turtles, seahorses,
and fish.
In the afternoon, we had lunch. The food was delicious. We had our free time after lunch. Some
of us took some rest, some others explored the place. Our next activity was going to Rangko Cave. There,
we had nature and wildlife tour. We enjoyed the beautiful cave shaped by nature. We also swam in the
pool inside the cave. The water was so clear that you could see the rocks under water.
Before we went home, we went to Padar Island. We wanted to see the landscape in panoramic
view, so we hiked for about 30 minutes to reach the peak. It was tiring, but the view was breathtaking.
Padar Island is unique because it has several beaches with different colors.
Exploring Labuan Bajo with all the activities made me realize that our country is “a country of treasures”.
I felt so happy that I could enjoy all the activities that the package offered.

Trip to Sumbawa
My last holiday was really unforgettable. My school took the students to Sumbawa. Our teachers
told us that it was an event to end the semester. They booked a two-day tour for us and the next two days
were really fun.
The next morning, after we finished our breakfast, the tour agent picked us up from the hotel. We
embarked for Poto Tano harbor West Sumbawa. The trip took about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Once we
arrived there, we explored Maluk Beach. I learned how to surf there. It was fun although I failed many
times standing on the board. We had lunch at a local restaurant and took some rest before we went to
Mantar Peak. We really enjoyed the sunset. The sunset was amazing! It was true what people say that this
place was like “the land in the clouds”. I could enjoy the beautiful sky covered with orange colour. When
the sky got dark, we went to the village to have dinner and stay overnight in a traditional house in Mantar.
We woke up early the second day. We didn’t want to miss the agenda on that day. We enjoyed
the sunrise at Mantar Peak before we went back to the village to have breakfast. The sunrise gave us an
amazing view. We had a trip to Kenawa Island and went trekking to Kenawa hill after breakfast.
The guide that accompanied us explained the necessary information regarding the island. Then,

learned something new. I was so happy. It was so memorable for me.

My first snorkeling experience
Last semester, I was sent to Manado North Sulawesi to represent my school at a national
storytelling competition. At the end of our stay there, all student participants and teachers were offered a
free snorkeling trip to Bunaken National Marine Park.
Early in the morning, we left Manado harbor for Bunaken island by motorboat. It took us about
40 minutes to get there. We got off the motorboat with excitement and headed towards a snorkeling rental
not far from the beach. Our tour guide helped us rent sets of snorkelling gears for all of us. At that time, I
was not sure about using all the snorkelling gears. I didn’t dare to ask. Luckily, while I was struggling to
put on the mask, the snorkel, and the fins, one of the participants approached me and offered help.
When we were all set, we began swimming from the beach to the snorkeling site. It took us only
5 minutes to see the amazing underwater world. The sky was blue and the water was clear so we had no
trouble finding a beautiful house reef. I could observe a variety of corals and fishes. While I was
swimming a little further down, I saw green sea turtles. I lost track of how many turtles I met along the
way!
To finish off the day, we stopped by a local restaurant before returning to Manado. We enjoyed
tuna, cakalang, and papaya leaves as our lunch. We were still eating when out of the blue a cat jumped on
our table and stole my tuna. We were all shocked but then we laughed. The snorkeling day trip was the
most memorable experience I had with other students from across Indonesia. I was grateful.
