We go on holiday with the tent. There in not a fovorite holiday country, if you are away from home, it feels different then it is holiday.

What is your favorite food?
In fact that is a problem. I like everything as long as it is home cooked :).but no soup, that is too much water for me. Although I sometimes eat the soup at the school but that is because they keep telling me how good it is, so I have to try.
