Describe a place

To be honest, I’m the kind of person who is super into going traveling, so I have had many
opportunities to pay a visit to many places both inside VN and other parts of the world. But
when it comes to a place in the rural area that I stepped my foot on in the past, the first one that
pops up in my mind is a small village in my parents’ hometown.
