This weekend has been one of my favorite weekends ever. Back at home, I always look forward to the weekends since it’s the time where my whole family gets together, goes to church and have meals all together. We all (12 of us) go to my aunt’s house and eat a homecooked meal and listen, dance, and sing to music.
This weekend reminded me a lot about weekends with my family. Flora, Axelle, Avery, and I decided to spend our weekend in the markets, since it’s one of our last weekends in the city before we leave to homestays. I loved spending time with them especially because I miss my family. We tried various foods and drinks during the markets. We did a lot of shopping and laughed a lot.
It amazes me how even the simplest activities or actions make one so happy, because of the people you do them with. I have learned that a family is not only those blood-related to you, but also those who you choose to be around.
