Day 1 Wednesday Date : March 4,2020 Time: 13.20-13.50
First Place	Medina
Description (Use your own words)	Medina, the  formally name is Al-Madīnah al-Munawwarah (“The Luminous City”) or Madīnat Rasūl Allāh (“City of the Messenger of God [i.e., Muhammad]”). Is the place that i love so much. Because why? This place is favorite place too of our Prophet. This place is famous for the Nabawi mosque. Because Medina is a sacred area, only Muslims are permitted to enter. The airport, however, lies just outside the sacred limits, and a good view of the city can be obtained by non-Muslims from aircraft landing there. Other religious features of the oasis include the mosque of Qubāʾ, the first in Islamic history, from which the Prophet was vouchsafed a view of Mecca; the Mosque of the Two Qiblahs.

Second Place	Mecca
Description of  Place	Mecca, Arabic Makkah, ancient Bakkah, city, western Saudi Arabia, located in the Ṣirāt Mountains, inland from the Red Sea coast. It is the holiest of Muslim cities. Muhammad, the founder of Islam, was born in Mecca, and it is toward this religious centre that Muslims turn five times daily in prayer. All devout and able Muslims attempt a hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca at least once in their lifetime. Because it is sacred, only Muslims are allowed to enter the city. The city centres on the Ḥaram Mosque, also called the Great Mosque, in which are situated the Kaʿbah and the sacred well of Zamzam. The compact built-up area around the mosque comprises the old city, which stretches to the north and southwest but is limited on the east and west by the nearby mountains. The Ḥaram Mosque is magnificent in its size and architecture and has been embellished and enlarged on numerous occasions through the centuries, most recently in a series of massive expansions by the government of Saudi Arabia in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Day 2 Thursday Date : Marc 5, 2020 Time: 18.30-18.45
First Place	Trio Gili
Description (Use your own words)	Lying off the northwest coast of Lombok, just over 2 hours direct from Serangan Harbour on the BlueWater Express, and 1 hour 15 minutes direct from Padang Bai Harbour on the BlueWater Express, is a trio of islands known as The Gili Islands. On Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Gili Meno, life is laid-back and full of rustic charm, with numerous little beachside cafes. There are no cars, motorbikes or dogs to disturb the peace; transport comprises bicycles or horse-drawn carts, locally known as “Cidomos”. Trawangan still maintains its timeless tropical paradise allure, but now has a wider range of facilities to suit a broader spectrum of travellers. There are still plenty of back-packer rooms priced at around US$10 per night, but there are also some very chic boutique bungalows, villas and hotels complete with private swimming pools and all mod cons. Motorised transport is banned from all three islands – you get around on foot, by bicycle or by horse-cart. Bicycles can be hired by the hour or by the day, while the cidomo horse-carts charge according to the distance. Agree the price before you leave with a bit of friendly bargaining. To get between the islands, you can either charter a local boat or take the twice-daily “Hopping” boat which costs just Rp 20,000 per person. Ask at your hotel or at the harbour for the latest schedules. Despite the fact that the islands are only a few hundred metres apart, and appear to be swimmable, DO NOT attempt to swim between them, the currents are deceptively strong, and a number of people have died trying. This is no problem when snorkelling close to the shore, but further out you can get swept away.

Day 4 Saturday Date : Marc 7, 2020 Time: 18.50-19.15
First Place	Gili Trawangan
Description (Use your own words)	The name "Gili Islands" is a misnomer, because Gili simply means "small island" in Sasak. As a result, most of the islands around the coast of Lombok have Gili in their names, although confusion is averted by referring (in English) to the other Gilis around the Lombok coast by their proper names only. The Indonesian word for water is Air ([aˈjɛr]) and Gili Air was named for being the only island of the three to have subterranean fresh water. This is acknowledged as a finite resource with some resorts and restaurants shipping in the water from the mainland. For a brief period during the Second World War, occupying Japanese forces used the islands as a lookout post and prisoner of war camp. Relics from this period include the remains of a bunker on the hill of Gili Trawangan, and the wreck of a patrol boat submerged at a depth of 45 m in the bay to the south of Gili Air (now a popular dive site). Permanent settlement only began in the 1970s, mainly due to the lack of fresh water sources before that time. Prior to human settlement, these islands remained pristine wildlife mangrove habitats.

Second Place	Los Angeles
Description of PLace	The city of Los Angeles [69] (also known simply as L.A., and nicknamed the "City of Angels") is the most populous city in California. Located on a broad basin in Southern California, the city is surrounded by vast mountain ranges, valleys, forests, beautiful beaches along the Pacific Ocean, and nearby desert. The metropolitan area is the second-most populous in the United States and home to over 17 million people who hail from all parts of the globe. The metropolitan area is spread across Los Angeles County, Orange County, and parts of San Bernardino County, Riverside County, and Ventura County. Los Angeles is an important center of culture, medicine, agriculture, business, finance, energy, aerospace, science, food processing, media, international trade, and tourism. International tourists regard Los Angeles as most famous for "Hollywood," but a long-running trend in favor of outsourcing of film and television production has critically undermined the sector to the point where entertainment and media employ only about 120,000 people in the entire metro area (and most of them work in Burbank or Culver City, not Hollywood). Many major motion picture deals and premieres still occur in Los Angeles, but the vast majority of those films are actually shot elsewhere. However, some post-production, editing, promotion, distribution, and archiving work still occurs in Los Angeles. In addition, L.A. remains a major center for production of television shows and television commercials, as well as music recordings.
