Well, let me tell you about a car trip to Huai City that I had a few years ago, which I would love to experience again. You know, my family has a tradition that whenever I finish a school year, we go the way to let our head down and spend quite a time together. Last summer holiday, we decided to go to a place and it turned out to be one of the most memorable trips I have ever had. Regarding transportation, we choose travel by car because take your bus or train would have been too noisy and uncomfortable, especially considering the possibility of car signals. I think this was the best decision my parents could have made. During the journey, the weather was perfect, so I opened the window to enjoy the fresh air and taking the pictures as scenery. What I liked the most was when we came across a beautiful flower meadow. My mother who loves photography is a beautiful dog and takes some funny photos. She even says it was one of the most beautiful photos she had ever seen. When we arrived in Hue, we used to go to several famous tourist destinations instead of Tegucca, where it was both economical and convenient. What made this young me truly special? What not just a stunning landscape but also to time spent with my family? Laughing, talking and making unforgettable memories together. I’d love to take this trip again because this gave me a chance to relax, enjoy nature and bond with my family. Moreover, really sitting here was a lovely to relive those wonderful moments and maybe discover new place that I missed the first time. In short, this is not only a long journey in terms of details, but also an unforgettable journey in my heart.

Last summer holiday, we decided to go to a place, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable trips I have ever had. Regarding transportation, we chose to travel by car because taking the bus or train would have been too noisy and uncomfortable, especially considering the possibility of car sickness. I think this was the best decision my parents could have made. During the journey, the weather was perfect, so I opened the window to enjoy the fresh air and take pictures of the scenery. What I liked the most was when we came across a beautiful flower meadow. My mother, who loves photography, brought her camera and took some funny photos. She even said it was one of the most beautiful places she had ever seen. When we arrived in Hue, we visited several famous tourist destinations instead of Tegucca, which was both economical and convenient.
