Hellooo everybody It has been the third day from back to school and I already got used to it again. After 17 days of holiday which I spent mostly at home, sleeping. I would like to tell you how I spent and enjoy my holiday. I went to Bekasi for only 12 hours to accompany my grandma in visiting my cousin. We left Bandung at around 8 am by car with both of my parents, my sister, my grandma, and lastly myself. We stopped once at a rest area to bought coffee for my dad because he was sleepy when at the moment.  On our way to Bekasi, I ate snacks and drank milo .  As soon as we arrived at Bekasi, we went to our first visit. It was my grandma's older brother. We chatted a bit but, we were sort of in a rush because we will pray for the solar eclipse at noon. After that, we went to my grandma's younger sister's place to catch up on a few things because they haven't met in a while. After we pray for dzuhur and also the solar eclipse, we went to my cousin's house
