If I have one week to do whatever I want...all expenses paid....

If I have one week to do whatever I want, all expenses paid, I would travel to the secluded countryside of Vietnam.  I would fly first-class (of course!).  I would take my whole family to Vietnam to visit my grandmother.  I would live in a thatched house next to a river with my family.  My family and I would enjoy our whole week away from the stress of life in the United States.  I would sleep under the stars listening to my grandmother telling stories of her experiences growing up during the Vietnam War.  I would wake up to the sounds of the cockerel early in the morning and the sweet scents of wheat germs all around me .  I would taste the honey drops of the sweet early morning mist of the country side.  I would enjoy breakfast consisted simply of white rice porridge and salted fish with my family.  I would listen to the sounds of children laughing by the river as they express their excitements of catching a catfish for lunch.  I would ride my bike along the river, let my hair flow through the winds and simply just be a child.  I would join others who work in the rice fields and have lunch with them under the shades (no air conditioning needed).  I eat sweet and sour soup everyday made by my grandmother.
