Dear Mr. Hamilton,

My family and I had a great vacation and enjoyed visiting the Alamo. Sea World and
other sites. We liked your hotel and the restaurant, the location was perfect. We have spent a lot
of money for that and the copy of our receipt was enclosed. However, we were very disappointed
in the cleanliness of our room.
We found hair on the bathroom floor when we arrived. In addition, the floor had crumbs
and needed to be vacuumed. On our second day, when we returned, we noticed that the beds had
not been made, and cleaning staff had not visited. I did call the lobby desk and ask, and they said
they were understaffed and unable to do it on that day.
While I do understand that low staff can cause issues, we did pay for full service.
Therefore, since our room was not cleaned, we would like a partial refund. You may discuss this
further with me at any time at 081392501922. Or feel free to email at
vacationfamily@gmail.com.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Brendanly

NGLANGGERAN
Mount nglanggeran is situated in Nglanggeran village, Patuk, Gunung Kidul. The mount
is constructed of ancient volcanic materials and is estimated active until around 70 million years
ago. The stones are quite huge and very challenging to climb on top of them. The local people
call it Mount Wayang because there are lumps of big stones which resemble wayang characters.
From a distance the formation of the stones is really amazing and giving scenic view of series of
wayang arranged on top of plateau.
Mount Nglanggeran offers a distinguished sensation for night hike. There are some
alternative hiking tracks with different difficulties. The first hiking post will be the sloping rock
called Latar Gede where hikers can enjoy sunset. The hardest and most challenging part is when
arriving at the area of mountain rocks at more than 100 meters high. Beginner hikers should
carefully choose the track because there are some tracks that have steep narrow valleys. The
highest peak of Mount Nglanggeran is Mount Gede, a mountain of a half acre rock lump from
which hikers are able to enjoy the star-spangle, city lights, and the sunrise.
In this area, there is a narrow rift that only fits one person. It is called Goa Jepang which
is believed to be the hide way of Japanese army chased by the American troops in World War II.
This mount seems to be the perfect hide way since it has 28 springs and rocky topography. Right

Once, there was a man who did a little things which inspired many people to do big
things.
Mr. Rahman was sitting at a food stall, waiting for his order, when five soldiers stopped by. They
asked for five packs of food. They were surprised about the price. Each pack cost a lump of
silver. One of them said, ”I think it’s too expensive for a pack of rice and a piece of fried chicken.
We’d better find cheaper food at another place. ”His friends agreed. They were about to leave
when Mr. Rahman stopped them.
“Excuse me. Please stay and order any food you like, I’ll pay. ”Mr. Rahman said.
“Thank you for your kindness, Sir, but we can’t accept it,” One of the soldiers said.

One afternoon a month ago. I was very hungry. As I don’t cook anything for lunch, I
decided to go to a cafe about a hundred meters from my boarding house.
I changed my trousers and shirt then left for the cafe by myself because my roomate
hadn’t come yet from the school. As soon as I got to the cafe, I ordered the meal with fresh
vegetable soup that seemed very delicious in the hot day, and also a glass of tea. When they were
served, I ate up eagerly the meal and soup and drank the tea. I was satisfied and it was the time
to pay. I grabbed my trousers pocket and I was shocked. My hands didn’t feel there was any
wallet there. Oh, gosh! It happens again. I felt so embarrassed that I didn’t dare to see the faces
of the customers. My body stayed still on the chair and began sweating. I tried to control myself
in front of the people. I collected my courage to come to the cashier to say something. Feeling
uneasy, I told her that I left my wallet in the other trousers at the boarding house and promised
to take it and come back soon. Some customers looked at me. I thought I must hide my face.
