I have the same feeling like yours. If I like a new song, I will listen to it again and again for a while. Now, looking back, I realize that each period of time in my life is accompanied with a couple of songs. Whenever I catch these songs again, I have a feeling that all my memories in those days is pouring down around me.
When I was at high school, one of my favorite songs is “Yesterday once more” (Carpenters). Listening to it again, I get like transported back in time when I was at high school. I can see clearly in front of my eye I was holding my small old radio before going to bed.
I love to listen to the traditional song from many countries and cultures in the world. Sometimes, I just search on Youtube for a country name and their traditional music. Then, I can enjoy the many fresh rhythm that I have never listened to before. Traditional music helps transcend the limit in geography to know how people in other countries look like, their languages, their custom, clothes and the beautiful landscape.
I like some songs from the 1950s til the 1970s for their charm and pure spirit. And above all, I love non – lyric music.

Military training course

I spent the first semester at school on a military training course. At the beginning, we fell excited and fresh. But after a few days, my foot became bad because we had to stand up with 45 degree straight legs, kept up head and chest. However, time flown fast, most of us adapted it. But many girls couldn't stand it. Throughout the course, some of them left the course soon. Some even fainted and were carried away by doctors. This is the deepest experience in my first semester. I'll tell you another interesting experience of mine next time. This is all about Lunar new year in my hometown. Bye and see you then.

My home town

Today I have booked a ticket. I'm going to go to my hometown, Buon Ma Thuot City where my family are living. I miss my father, my mother, my younger brother and my younger sister so much. I'll be at home tomorrow. I'm so happy.
