Last summer I visited my grandparents' house because I missed them and wanted to spend time with them during my vacation. Their house is in Ulsan and it is about 2 hours away from Busan by car. My parents took us there and had to go back home early, because of work. I stayed at my grandparents' home for 2 weeks with my sister.

Without my parents, I couldn't relax at all because my grandparents are very diligent people. They live a quiet and simple life. They do not have a computer and never go shopping, only grow food in the garden. In the morning, they get up early and always keep their house clean. So I had to get up early and help my grandparents clean up their house. They also like to exercise everyday, especially walking to the mountain. I also had to follow them when they went to the mountain. The mountain is nearby and they go there to exercise.


Since my grandparents are vegetarians, we always ate meals with the vegetables they grew in their garden. It was very healthy but my sister didn't like it at all, because they didn't eat any meat, and my sister loves beef!

After the 2 weeks were over, I was sad to leave my grandparents' house, but I was happy to see my parents again and to use my computer! I hope I can visit my grandparents again during winter vacation.
