Pare is a useful place

Pare, I think that word is common for someone who likes English very much. Pare is the name of district. It begins popular when an English course built. The first course built is BEC (Basic English Course) in a small village, Tulungrejo. Now, there are a lot of English courses, I think more than 90 courses, at the same village. Many people come to Pare from different parts of Indonesia. Starting from Medan, Lampung, Padang, Jakarta, Bandung, Bogor, Cirebon, Indramayu, Jogja, Semarang, Blora, Solo, Surabaya, Madiun, Malang,Bali, Banjarmasin, Pontianak, Samarinda, Manado, Palu, Ambon, Nusa Tenggara,etc. We could not only study English, but also meet a lot of people from different places.
Study English is not difficult if we do it regularly. Pare is the right place to learn about it because everyday we always practice it. Although we understand about grammar, it isn’t easy to have a good conversation. The situation of Pare is comfortable to everyone who wants to learn and have more practices about English. Many courses are in Pare and we are forced to talk in English language to other citizens. If we do not want to talk in English, we should not have a chat with them. In one row of a street, there are more than 13 courses and they are face to face. That’s the reason why we call it as “Kampoeng Inggris”.
If we want to go there and stay, we do not have to have a lot of money because living in Pare is not expensive. As you know the price for rent a room in a month is around 50.000 rupiahs until 120.000. It price has already completed with the facilities such as: water, bed, shelf, pillow. If we bring another equipments like as, computer, rice cooker, we should pay more, a little bit more. For the price of food, it is almost just 2000 rupiahs we could get a nice food, rice, vegetables and tempe. We also can cook by ourselves if we want to save our money more. We can go to traditional market because it is near. The weather is so friendly; it is not so hot as like Jakarta and not so cold as like Bandung. It is anice place to stay.
Beside we can study English, we also can take vacation in Pare. There are some places that we can visit and it can refresh our mind also. First, we can visit Square park which is located around 3 km from BEC. There is a Cave, but I forget the name, around 4 km to west from BEC. If we go there, we should not bring valuable things because the cave is filled by water. If we want to swim, we can go to “corah”, the name of swimming pool. Pare has a Temple, a small temple, also I forget the name. One place that we should write in our vacation’s list as it is the nice place to have a holiday.
Pare is a useful place. That’s the place we can study English and take the holiday. Also, we can meet different people from different parts of Indonesia. If you have free time, I suggest you to go there and try to stay there.
