SIMPANG LIMA GUMUL

Kediri is one of the old cities that has lots of charms. Kediri posesses many good places ranging from buildings like temples, the natural tourism place such as Mount Kelud, education places like the Kampung Inggris of Pare and more. One of the nice, spacious and very interesting places is the Simpang Lima Gumul monument.

I can say that Simpang Lima Gumul are really big. The entire SLG area is approximately 37 hectares. Especially for the monument, it has an area of 804 square meters with a height of 25 meters. These number actually show a symbol of the anniversary of Kediri Regency, namely March 25, 804 AD. To reach the location of the monument, 4 underground tunnels are provided under the SLG ring road on the ground. The tunnels are connected to the parking area.

It is no secret that the shape of the SLG monument resembles the Arc de Triomphe in France. The construction of the SLG monument was inspired by the heroic story of King Joyoboyo.

For me, SLG is very nice place for spending my spare time. The monument and the courtyard area which is in the middle of a crossroads are very wide and cozy. You can have a greet time there, like spending your time accompanied by breeze, sitting and enjoying your meals with family, taking a good picture since the monument is beautiful and big and so on. Since SLG is an intersection, you might think that it will be a very moist place but I bet you that you are wrong. The monument area is so large that it can reduce the noice of the road.

Finally, I conclude that Simpang Lima Gumul is one of my most favorite places to be. Even though you come to Kediri only for a short time, I still suggest you to make a special schedule for visiting this place. Not only the place is convenience but also the architecture of the building is amazing. Perhaps we can go to this place together anytime.

FACING THE HORRIFIC TOEFL TEST

  I took TOEFL test in UIN Antasari for 2 times. I think my last score is good or at least enough. I forget my score but the latest is around 500 and the latest is higher than the first test score. My first TOEFL test result which I took in Pare was around 400, but the test was just about written test. At the first time, I thought that we would have a good score when we got more fluency in speaking and accuracy in writing.
