Because, she likes vegetables and fruits very much. Beside that, in her opinion, the taste of salad is delicious and nice. But the pity, Ms. Samiha can’t make that food. She only knew the ingredients of salad. There are onion, cheese, carrot, olive oil, mayonnaise, some friuts, and etc. When she ate that food, she usually drinks coke. Also, she always eats salad anytime with her family and she always buys it in the restaurant or cafe. The price of salad is about 20 EURO.

In Taman Sari Yogyakarta, I also met Mr. Mark. But, for this tourist it is different from other tourist when I met before. He comes from Belgia. It’s so amazing. Mr. Mark is friendly, handsome, tall body, and kind. His hair is brown adn short. His nose is pointed and his skin is white and smooth. In there place, Mr. Mark wore green T - shirt and brown short pants. He also wore black hat. Maybe, he used it for keeping his head from sunlight. Because, in Indonesia is very hot. Mr. Mark never visited Indonesia before or this is first time for him. He came there with his wife and his group which had twenty men. After that, I asked him about my topic “food” and I gave him some questions about that. Then, he explained me all about food in his country. There are many kinds of food, like french fries, spaghetti, meat, and etc. Especially, french fries. Because, that food is popular food in his country. Then, he told me about how to make french fries. First step, slice potatoes, and then fried potatoes in the frying pan. Last step, took potatoes out of frying pan and put it on a plate. French fries is ready to served. When he ate it, he usually drinks beer. Also, he always eats it with his wife and his children in spare time. He always eats it in special place of french fries. Then, the price of a french fries is about S 1 or in Indonesia about Rp 15.000.

      In     INDONESIA

In Indonesia, there are many islands. So, every island has many kinds of tradisional food like rendang from West Sumatera, gudeg from DIY, Rujak Cingur from East Java, Empek - empek from Palembang, and etc. Beside that, there are many kinds of modern food in Indonesia like fried chicken, fried noodle, french fries, pizza, and burger. That modern food came from outside country. But, if you want to eat one of that modern food, you might becarefull with yourself. Because, most of that modern food contain many kinds of chemical properties and MSG. This is very dangerous for our health. But, if you eat modern food every day, you will get stomachache and your body little by little will be weak. Because of that, you have to consume the healthy food to keep our body free from many kinds of disease. So, you can eat Traditional food like gethuk, srabi, pecel. Be carefull with yourself when you eat many kinds of food.

     In     INDONESIA

In Indonesia, I want to tell you about season and weather. There are two seasons, like dry and rainy. Now, I want to explained of that seasons one by one. First, that is dry. In this season, there is no rainy comes. So, when dry season came, water is rare. Many people in a view toritorial is lack of water. Also, they are lack of the materials of food. Because of that, most of people are attacked of disease. Without that, many kinds of disaster when dry season came, like landslide and forest conflagration. That disasters are dangerous. So, becarefull wiht yourself. And second, that is rainy season. It’s rather same as dry season. In this season, you should becarefull. It can be, rainy season is more dangerous than dry season. Because, if rainy season always falldown, maybe it will be flood in many places. Most of people suffer from it rains everyday like stomachache, cough, fever, cold, and etc.
