Letter 16: My Winter Vacation 😁

Hello Tim! After the vacation, we’re back! I think you understand lots of things about Chinese New Year. As usual, we clean the house before celebrating, I found out some photos from junior high, I also cleaned the clothes and shoes which I don’t wear now, I’m going to donate them.
On Chinese New Year eve, I went back to my grandparents’ (father’s father) home, some people say if woman who has married went back home on this day, she’ll be unlucky this year. It is a day that family get together. We had dinner at the restaurant, but I think my grandfather cooks better. After the dinner, we played firecrackers, andιΊ»ε°‡. ιΊ»ε°‡ is like poker cards in western cultures.
On the vacation, I had a trip to Taichung with Candy, Melvyn, and William. This is the first time I sleep out with friends, so I’m very excited. We bought the tickets, booked the hotel, plan where to go, all by ourselves, this is a new experience for me, and I learn something from this (ex. I know what should I prepare if I’m not 18 but I want to sleep in a hotel). I’ll go out with them in summer vacation, too. I've started looking forward!
Sincerely,

Melody

    Dear Tim
    I enjoyed that, I'm a foodaholic, we ate lots of Taiwan traditional snacks in the night market, my favorite food is stinky tofu and bubble tea.
    I played the gambling game with my family, but I never win LOL, my grandfather almost won every time.
