I still remember my family trip to Lumini was one of the most memorable event of my life. Although I don’t recall the exact age, I was around 5 years old at the time during my trip. I went there with my family, my mother, father, or elder sister and younger brother. I still remember for the first time in my life I have seen such a tall buildings, temples, and statues of God and Goddess. I have seen the birthplace of Lord Buddha for the first time. I was quite thrilled to see such historical places. Although I don’t remember and know the historical importance at that time. I do know that it was quite an exciting memory for me. I looked at the photos from the trip and recall those wonderful memories. I also experienced boating for the first time during the visit. I remember the boating lasted about 20 minutes taking us around the Lumini. When the boating ended, I was reluctant to get out of the boat because of the experience. I had been so thrilled. I was quite stubborn at the child and I didn’t want to get out of the boat. My father still remember my father offered me an ice cream. If he could get out of the boat, I still say it’s an enjoyable memory.
