A friend of yours is going on holiday soon and has asked you to recommend a destination. Write a letter to your friend and recommend a good place for a holiday that you have visited before.

Dear Fajar,

Thanks for your letter last week. I am pleased and the family is healthy. Well, I can certainly recommend my destination for you, if you want to go for traveling on holiday in Southeast Sulawesi. I went to an island called Hoga on the Wakatobi regency. Wakatobi is one of regencies at the Southeast Sulawesi province. It was a truly a long travel to go there as it is only seven hours from Nusantara harbor Kendari.

There are only few places to stay. There were two resorts, the Patapulo and the Huges on the island, and villa is hired near beach. We stayed at the villa, but I know you and your family might prefer to stay in the resort.

There was a little thing to do but it was a memorable. There was beautiful beach with white sands, diving and snorkeling was very great because the Ocean was like a mirror. At the island, the citizen of Hoga Island always showed traditional dance every week.

The food was typical of western in the resort because many foreign visitors stay there. You did not worry the dishes served, because they provided Indonesian food. Besides that, we found tradition food from Wakatobi called "Kasuami’.

Anyway, I have to go now and continue my work, write again if you need any information.

Regards,
Yamin
