A magical moment that happened in my life would have to be when I went to Vietnam in 2012. I do not get the chance to go there very often, as the overall trip is very expensive, so I make the most of the time I have over there. Nearly all of my relatives from my dad’s side are in Vietnam, and my family and I usually visit for about a month. My grandma lives in Nha Trang, one of the cities in Vietnam, and we stay at her house during our time there. The entire experience is really enjoyable, as we get to spend time with people we have not seen in a while. However, most of the events we take part in are eating and sleeping. In the morning, everyone is working, and the afternoons are too hot to do anything, so the only time we can do things is in the evening. When we do go out, we have our relatives take us on their scooters, as this type of transportation is more efficient than cars in Vietnam. We usually go out to restaurants and eat foods that people wouldn't normally eat in Canada, like ostrich and alligator. Afterwards, we will occasionally go eat ice cream or drink smoothies. Other times, we will go to the beach and play in the sand for a little while. The worst part about going to Vietnam is realizing that we have to leave eventually. I always cry before and during the time we have to leave, as I was given the opportunity to spend time and have fun with the people I love dearly, all of it ending too soon. I always think of them wherever I am, and I cannot wait until the next time I get to see them.
