I had an unforgettable memory in my father's hometown, when I was a 12-year old child. I was taken to my father's hometown for 1- month vacation. In there, I had many interesting and happy time with my family, made more new friend and learn a lot of useful things.

My father's hometown is in Tien Giang. It takes about 3 hours to go there by ship. Because this is the first time I had gone there, I was quite excited and expectant. I was surprised with its view. The fresh green field was long and wide. It made me think that it spread without stopping. The air is quite fresh and full of smelling flower and grass. I soon got along with my cousins and made new friends who live near my grandfather house. Near my grandfather's house there are a small river with a bit short coconut trees grown in the bank. My friends, cousins and me love swimming in that river, jumping from coconut trees into the river and competing swimming together. Sometime, while swimming we caught more big fish and some snail which cling to the coconut's stump. In addition, I'm interested in my father’s small garden where is grown many kind of fruit and vegetable and surrounded by trellis with violet flower climber. There are red pepper tree, green leek bed, vegetable plot in the front part of the garden. The behind part of garden is grown many fruit trees such as mango, banana, plum, guava,... I was taught how to grow and take care of them. It's wonderful to harvest by myself and can taste sweet of the yellow ripe mango, sweet and juicy pink plum. It's really great.

My vacation soon finalized, I come back home to continue studying. It's pity to leave here. However, I had a great time and memory in there where my father was born.
