SEMARANG, THE CITY WHERE I WAS BORN


Semarang is the capital of Central Java, a province in Java. Province is just like State in USA. It's located in the north of Central Java and of course, it has a beach. Wikipedia said, this city has an area of 305.12 km2 with a population of 1.5 million.
If you come from abroad, you can reach this city both by air and water. This city has an international airport named "Achmad Yani", it has direct flight to Singapore. If you want to travel by water, there is "Tanjung Mas" harbor. 
Semarang offers you several tourism destinations such as Marina Beach, Simpang Lima town square, The Haunted House Lawang Sewu, Sam Poo Kong, etc. There is also Semarang old town which is former Dutch East Indies' offices .If you wish to have something like religious trip, Semarang provides us good experience by visiting "Masjid Agung" for moslems and  Semarang Cathedral for Christian.




Well, I'm quite  proud  I was born here and it's a coincidence that both my parents were born here, too. My family live here either, they say that Semarang is a cozy place. Unfortunately, flood sometimes attacks this city. But, don't worry guys, the mayor is now trying to overcome this problem, so just visit this city and enjoy!
