A Fun Day in Kendari
.
Last holiday, I decided to head over to Kendari, a beautiful city in Southeast
Sulawesi.
I left home early on a sunny Sunday morning at 8:00 AM and got to my aunt’s
place around 11:00 AM. The weather was perfect, and I was super excited to
see my family, especially my cousin, who I hadn’t seen in forever. As soon as I

A Fun Day in Kendari
.
While I was in Kendari, I had the best time hanging out with everyone. One day, we went to visit some
other family members in the area, and I caught up with relatives I hadn’t seen in years. It was a blast—
we were all laughing and swapping stories. Another fun moment was when my cousin, my niece, and I
went to the local cinema to watch a movie. It was such a chill night. The best part of the trip, though,
was when we all sat down together to eat this traditional Sulawesi dish called ‘Kapurung.’ The smell of
the food was amazing, and it was so nice to just relax, eat, and chat with the family.

The laughs, the family reunions, and the food—especially the ‘Kapurung’—made
this holiday one I’ll never forget. It was a time to reconnect, share memories, and
just enjoy being together. I’ll definitely cherish these moments.
