Last month, I visited my childhood friend’s house on Depok. His Name is Juniar. There were many activities I did there. In the morning, Juniar and I had breakfast. We had nasi uduk that we enjoyed when we were kids. I liked it very much. After breakfast, he took me to our old school and retell the story about what we had when we were in elementary school. The school looks better than 13 years ago. There is a big bench in the school garden. There were 3 sports fields for students. After visiting the school, Juniar and I went to the market to buy some food and snacks. We bought kue ape, kue pukis, kue cucur, kue mangkok, and nasi padang. We had lunch together at his house and had a small chit chat. It was so much fun. I really enjoyed my time with Juniar. After enjoying three days together, I went home after being picked up by my father.
