As soon, I called my friend and asked him where we will go at this holiday.
So, my friend had an idea that we will go to Anyer Beach. So we called other friends and invited them to go together. And I was very happy because, other friends came too. So, we planned our departure to go to Anyer Beach. And it had been decision. The day was Monday until Tuesday.
