As the citizens of Indonesia, Why not we come there? J

So… 

                                    

On a bright sunny day in the end October 2013, We, the students of 2a and 2b Harapan Ibu Islamic  Elementary School come to visit TMII that is close from our school .  

The first activity is travelling through islands by bus.  The bus goes slowly to give us time to  look at the amazing traditional houses ; Rumah Gadang from West Sumatera, Rumah Honai From Papua, Rumah Joglo from Jakarta, and so on. We also find the places where people worship the God; Mosques, Churches, and Temples. 

After that, we visit PP IPTEK .It is a center of Science and Technology, a place where we can try electrical equipment safely and do science experiments easily. We also  learn about the variety of colors and sounds, light, and heat.  

It takes about one hour visit  in  PP-IPTEK . Then, we go on our trip to Keong Mas. Here we watch the film about The Beauty Of Indonesia. Again, from this movie we can feel that Indonesia has a lot of things to be proud of. 

Both the film entertains us and gives us lesson that we have to keep our nation very well. The country that Allah and our  ancients had given us the treasure that have to be found and kept.

The time goes so fast. After we have lunch and shop, we set to go to museum Bait Alqur-aan. We pray  Zuhur in the  mushalla of Bait Alqur-aan, and then  do travelling through the museum. In this place we get to know that Alqur-aan has been written in the different styles  of calligraphy , and different sizes, too. Here we were impressed by the biggest size of Alqur-aan that we haven’t ever seen before.

When we are staring at the variety of Alqur-aan and adore about them, we realize that  the time is up  and we have to go back to school.  I can’t move my steps and still wanna be there. But our teacher call us out loud : 

“Guys . . . .  get in to the bus, let’s go back !!!”

Bye TMII, I promise to be back here again . . .
