the perfect banquet

   Last Saturday I went to my cousin’s wedding banquet with my mom and some of my relatives. We rented a bus because the wedding is in a small town of Chunghwa, and set out from Kaohsiung at nine o’clock. I’m always looking forward to eat the foods in the banquet for they are quite different from those foods we ate in our daily life. Not to mention it was my cousin’s wedding banquet, we guys were usually become very crazy because we get alone with each other well. Especially that means we’ll have a new member in our family. I waked up early that day to dress up, eat a little breakfast, and then went to take the bus with my mom.
   
   However, the trip didn’t go as easy as what I expected. At first, I thought that Chunghwa was near, so we won’t need to spend too much time to arrive at the destination. I bring nothing but one textbook and one Business Weekly and my MP3. Unexpectedly, only one of my other cousins went to this banquet, the rest were all aunts, uncles, and my grandpa and grandma. That means I, who is still a university student, would not have anyone to chat or talk or play with!! Suddenly it seemed that the trip had lost a half of fun I expected. Without my cousins, I just slept, waked up, slept, and waked up, the excitement became boredom. And the time on the bus became longer, too.
   
   Fortunately, we arrived at the destination on time, twelve o’clock. I got off the bus quickly for I felt that I was going to vomit. But what I ate later made me forgot all of the unhappy things. It was a sea food restaurant, so the first food is sashimi, which is differ from the traditional mullet roe. Then the follow up foods were also distinct from the foods in a banquet we usually had. For example, the king crab, the au gratin soap, small cakes for dessert, and the most impressive one, pure vintage, which is made by the bride’s father. All of them were surprised me and I kept guessing that what’s the next. What’s more, it was my first time to drink wine. I drank a sip of it and my throat was like burning on the fire. Everyone enjoyed the food and blushed due to the wine.
   
   We went back as soon as the banquet was end. Of course I still have nothing to do but sleep, reading and watch the scenes, (actually just expressway), outside the window. But I was satisfied and there’s no hatred, impatience and boredom any more. I listened to my relatives singing the KTV, echoing or chatting with each other. “How lucky I am to born in such a nice family!” I thought. They promised that when the grapes are mature, we will hire a bus, and go there again. At that time everyone must be present, and I believe that we’ll all have wonderful memories, just like what I have now.
