The holiday had come. At first, I had no idea how to spend my free time. I had no plan because I
knew my parents were very busy. My father was finishing his project, while my mother had to take
care of my little sister. She was just five months.

Luckily, one of my friends, Zaky, didn’t have any plan either. So, he came to my house nearly
every day during the holiday. We did a lot of things.

On the first day, we went around the city by motorcycle. We stopped by at some malls in the city
and enjoyed window shopping.

The next day, I taught Zaky how to play volleyball. It took three days for hi to be able to do the
service well.

We spend the last two days by visiting museums in our city; Ronggowarsito and Mandala
Bhakti Museums. Wa learned a lot from the things displayed in the museums.
