@ Phirun: I think you should enjoy the fresh air and

the simple lifestyle in the countryside instead of complaining It is also a unique experience.

@ Julie: Wow! I wish I can experience such an

amazing summer vacation like you did.

@ Dennis: You must be in the countryside, there is

no place like this in a city.

@ Emi: I totally agree with you Life in the city is
