HOLIDAY AND CULTURAL LEARNING PROGRAMS

I. Goals:

In the efforts of making good relationship and friendship between Indonesian and Australian communities, we invite you to take part in holiday and cultural learning programs which will be conducted a long the year on the basis of a planned and scheduled program activities. To make you understand the whole system of the program, here are some more details about the program:

1. This program is conducted by Heavenly Garden English Course and Cultural Learning which manages the program of English Learning for Indonesians and Indonesian Learning for Australians. The courses include cross cultural learning activities. The facilitator of the course is a graduate of Technical and Further Education (TAFE) College, Adelaide, South Australia and South Australian College of Advanced Education (SACAE), Underdale, South Australia.

2. The majority of course materials are not practiced in class rooms only but also directly practiced with native speakers of Indonesian in rural areas while enjoying the beauty of natural view of the areas. Therefore, while learning Indonesian (and also Javanese, if you like) you can visit some tourism objects.

3. The tourism objects which can be visited cover Borobudur, Prambanan, and Gedong Songo temple; Surakarta and Yogyakarta Palace, Sam Po Kong (Stone Building), Lawang Sewu (Building of Thousands of Doors), Marina Beach, Mount Ungaran, Widuri Beach and many others.

4. In addition to visiting tourism objects the program also gives you opportunity to meet people making traditional Indonesian foods and beverages like lumpia, enting-enting gepuk, tea and coffee, handy crafts like batik, tenun and troso, ukiran furnitures in home industries.

5. During the program you will stay with Indonesian families (home stay) to make you able to learn Indonesian culture directly from Indonesian people. Hopefully, it will make you feel at home and can mingle and make friendship with them.

6. As this program is mainly intended to promote good relationship and friendship between Indonesian and Australian nation, it is not conducted for profit orientation (non profit program) but you can spend your money on the the basis of our advice. We hope you can save your money and spend it wisely. You may decide to stay for a week, two weeks or even longer.

II. Location:

During the programs you will be placed in our homes in a very beautiful hilly village at the plateau of Mount Ungaran. While enjoying the panorama of mountains surrounding the village you can also enjoy the beauty of the Sun rise and Sun set. The village is very natural with its trees and cool weather of the average 20 centigrade. Every morning you get the opportunity to taste cups of tea or coffee with its natural Javanese flavour and our Javanese traditional foods. To make your body warm, supposed you are a smoker, you can also smoke Indonesian cigarettes, which are of high quality.

We hope you will enjoy your holiday and have a good time to be like Indonesians. I believe it will give you an original cultural exposure, which must be very valuable.

The distance between your home-stay and city centre of Ungaran is 2 kilometers or ten minute drive by car or motor cycle. You can also visit many tourism objects in Ungaran and its surrounding in one day trip. From Ungaran you can visit Borobodur, Prambanan, Yogyakarta and Solo Palace, in only two hours by car. You can go to Marina Beach, Lawang Sewu , Sam Po Kong and many others in Semarang, the capital city of Jawa Tengah only in one hour by car.

Ungaran is a very strategic place for you to go everywhere to spend your holidays.

III. How can you go to our place?

You can go to Indonesia by plane and land your flight at Ngurah Rai Airport, Bali or at Cengkareng Airport, Jakarta and then you change your flight to Ahmad Yani Airport, Semarang.. From Jakarta and Bali to Semarang, it takes time about fifty minutes.

Dear Sir,

HOLIDAY AND CULTURAL LEARNING PROGRAM

It is our great concern, to strengthen the friendship between Indonesian and Australian nation as the two nations are neighbours. Different cultures are something interesting to learn to make mutual understanding. Learning Indonesian culture directly from Indonesian community will give you more opportunity to appreciate and thus understand more thoroughly about it.

We offer you holiday and cultural learning program with the hope you can visit our city (as a part of Indonesia) as a tourist and at the same time you can learn Indonesian culture, including Bahasa Indonesia (and Javanese if you like) from Indonesian and Javanese native speakers.
