It’s harvest time, so all people there were very busy. The villagers got up very early and go to the field to 
cut rice, load it onto buffalo-drawn carts or tractor and drove it home. Tuan’s father helped his parents on 
the farm work. Tuan and I followed his father to go to the fields. There was so many space and I love the 
vast open space, the fresh air and the feel of freedom in the countryside. We would run around the fields 
and shout out loudly without disturbing anybody. I have never saw any interesting place like this. In the 
afternoon, some of Tuan’s cousins take us to the fields to fly kites – It’s was so exciting!
In the next morning, Tuan and I went to the market with his grandmother. There were many interesting 
thing there. Locals sell their home –made products and many fresh fruits such as bananas, oranges, apples 
and they also sold animals such as chickens, geese, ducks, cats, dogs and pigs. I enjoyed the atmosphere 
there.
The trip to the countryside gave me my first experience of farm work: cutting rice, dry rice, planting 
vegetables, collecting potatoes. It’s really unforgettable!
