Hello.........still in Grandma and Grandpa home
We visited Cukup Temple .
Cukup Temple located in Kesiman Tengah village, Pacet district, Mojokerto regency. From Grandma home we just walked through the clay street and rice field and river without bridge. Its took a time approx 20 minutes
Cungkup Temple is only left its foot part and body part. This temple is looks out upon west direction. On its fourth body part, has crafted some relief in Javanese style, medallion, rectangle, and human. In medallion, there is animal relief; then in rectangle, there is entertainer. The up stair is located in southwest and southeast side. The under part of stair in southeast is getting broken. The north side wall of the entertainer is dragon relief that pull by two human, in left and right side. While, in right and left side of the up stair is “Gana”.
One legend said, its a Temple for Prince consort Kertawardhana, husband of Majapahit Queen, Tribuana Tunggadewi

Hello mom Linda!
I arrived today at my host mom house!
My host mom has a travelling toy as well, her name is Cotton Candy! She is a tiger, like me! She haven't travelled yet, but she will soon. But while she doesn't travel, she makes me company.
Cotton Candy: What is this mom?
Host mom: A new friend for you - Ugrasena! He comes from Indonesia!
Cotton Candy: Hello Ugrasena, welcome! Lets take a picture together!
Ugrasena: I haven't came alone, I brought you some gifts...
Cotton Candy: How nice! A keychain, a magnet, a fan, a pencil and tea from Indonesia! Thank you Ugrasena!
Today, the host mom also received a package full of candy, from Germany!
Me and Cotton Candy ate candies until we drop!
And then we watched TV!
We haven't done much but the day was really nice! I needed to relax a little bit after my long travel!
I am really enjoying my stay!
Talk to you soon, mom!
Ugrasena

Hey mom!
Today, I went to host moms work. She works at an hostel in Coimbra, a beautiful city about 30 minutes from home. At the moment host mom is living in Coimbra, near her work.
The reception
I felt asleep in a bed... See, mom? I slept in a hostel room!
Then I played the guitar that they have on their living room.
Talk to you soon!
Love,
Ugrasena

Hey!
Mom host went to the supermarket, and she found this cute postbox on the street:
Cute, right?
In Portugal they have these cute post boxes, but this one we found is no longer 'working', because the post office it belongs is closed now. Lately, they closed lots of post offices, sadly.
I hope I find you happy and fine, mom!
Love,
Ugrasena
