Okay, so to begin with, I would like to talk about my family trip to our grandma’s house last year, which is located in Northern Vietnam. So to give some background, we went there last year in the occasion of Lunar New Year. At that time, because it is the special holiday in our country, so everyone were off working and studying, this brought us the chance of freedom so that we could have the opportunity to visit the family members and ancestors. What stands out the most in the trip is the landscape there. It was quite different from the last time we had gone to visit our grandma. The beautiful and stunning landscape was still the same, like breathtaking mountains and serene rivers. But the yard and the background of her home, it was quite spacious so that now, at that time, she could raise a lot of different kinds of pets like chickens, dogs, and cats, and so on. They were like the close companions for her because when we met them, they are very friendly and cute. I remember very vividly the night after having dinner with each other. We spent time to share about stories of the whole year, like the experiences and difficulties as well as challenges. So we did have a well of the time. That’s why I feel very profoundly grateful for having a chance to come back to visit her.
