3 years ago, I went on vacation with my friend to the sea with Rourod by bus. Initially, we met at Beer Pride University to get on the bus at 6 am. During the trip, we sang the songs, told jokes, shared food and fruits, and shared things we had done. We arrived at sea in the afternoon. Throughout the afternoon, we stayed in the room for a break. In the evening, we had a barbecue by the sea. By that time, we all were busy, some grilled meat, some prepared drinks, some arranged a speaker, some set up the tongs, and I helped my friend set the tables. We ate, sang and danced until late at night. Following a new day in the morning, we did some water activities like riding a jet ski and swimming. Most of my friends were good at swimming except me. I didn’t know how to swim. I and other friends sat by the sand and watched them. In the evening, we took a boat trip to see the sunset and turmoorings. We had a small party on the boat. On the way back, we stopped off at Boko Mountain. There, we could see really beautiful landscapes, colorful flowers, big rocks, green forest, and ancient pagoda. Especially since we felt that we could touch the clouds. We did many things together, like us, eating land under the big trees, praying in the pagoda, and taking a lot of photos. We felt fresh and very peaceful. Since then, I have never been there again. I hope I will have a chance to visit again with my friends. Our vacation was the most wonderful time that I have never forgotten.
