Male Female

I have taken a lot of memorable holidays, but today I would like to talk about the best memory of my life. I have been living in Japan for five years, but my family stayed in Thailand, so I could not meet them for a long time. Last summer, I had the opportunity to go to Thailand and meet my family, my mother and father. I went by myself, but I was really happy. I was filled with happiness because I could meet my family, I could meet my parents. When I arrived in Thailand, my father and mother were waiting for me at the airport, and we had not seen each other for five years. We were really happy to meet each other. I went to many places such as the beach, the mountains, the capital of Thailand, Bangkok, and other countryside areas. I ate a lot of delicious Thai food such as som tam and yam mung sen. It is quite spicy, but I love Thai food, and I cried a bit because I hadn't had Thai food for a long time, so that was really the best memory. That's why this holiday was my most memorable holiday.
