That one day I can never forget, that day is attached with my childhood
memory, when I went downtown with my father for the first time in my life. I
was seven year old, my father asked me, and I still remember those word,
whenever I want I can take myself there. It was a Tuesday in summer and the
weather was very pleasant by chance, my father took off from his office he
asked me in the morning," hi I am going to downtown you want to
come?", I just woke up, so I was sitting in a very crippled way on
the chair, but as soon as I heard the name of downtown my eyes popped up,
because I never saw the downtown before.

I remember, I suddenly jumped from the chair, and
said yes sure, and my father laugh loud on action, he said," ok you 30
minutes to ready", and I ran to my mother to please make me ready. Going
to downtown is sound as very fun, but for me it was very attractive , because I
never saw the downtown before in back home when I was very young. In our back
home the main food street is very close to downtown where people came from far
to enjoy the food, because all the famous food store and traditional food
makers have their shops there, and I was the food loving kid.
In fact, I am still a food loving person, well I will call it
"journey of downtown", because for me it was a journey. We came out
from our home, I was sitting in the car and my neighbor asked me while she was
pouring the plant pots with water," where are going", and I answer
her with very energetic way by shaking my hold body, and showing her my
interest " I am going to downtown with my father" she laugh loud as
on me, and she said" ok well enjoy your first visit". we set in car
my father started to tell me the averment of downtown like; it looks good ,but
it is a fast place, so I don't lose his hand, stay close with him, and don't
touch anything like that.
First, we went to the bank where my father had to go for some work , it
took a little long in bank, after we came out , and my father took me in
airline office from he bought the airline tickets for his weekend flight.
When we came out from the airline office my father said to me," ok now
from where you want start?, you want to eat first or you want to go to places
first?." I told him that I want to see the biggest building of the down
town," he smiles" and said "ok", we started walking, and I
started questions about everything which I see after other, and he answered all
my questions after each one.
Soon, we came to that building ,it was a bank building, the first word
came out from my mouth was" waooo", because I never saw that big
construction very close. Then my father took me into that building, that bank
building have a museum as well. I saw so many things over there. When we finish
from there my father took me into a traditional juice shop, where I saw the old
way to take out the sugarcane juice, by using the hand operated machine,
that shop was very big, and very clean and looked like a five star juice
restaurant. We set there, as soon as we set there the guy came to us, and asked
very nicely about our self, and then asked," what we would like to take
today", my father ordered a mango shake and I order sugarcane juice.

That was the first time I was treated to the sugarcane juice, and it was
very good, is because that was very fresh they were making some attractive
juices behind the glass
to get customer attraction. After we came out from there we want to down
town library, too see the old book. In the path I saw some homeless people for
the first time in my life we spend one hour in that library, I checked 10
percent of library in hour, because that library was very big, from there we
came out and head to ministry house where the Governor's office, and after that
my father took me to a market where all stores were selling pets, I saw many
animals there which I never saw on tv, we stop on every big store for window
shopping and I enjoyed that very much.
After visiting all the shops we saw a shop who was selling only cats. I
went there and saw two kitten I asked to my father that can he please buy these
two for me. First my father tried to convince me, that mother will get angry,
because she doesn't like mass at home, but after my nonstop insist he bought
those, and the shopkeeper gave a cage for them, and told me how to train them.
After that long day my father took me to a restaurant where we handed over my
pets cage to the person who was standing at the door to welcome customers.
There we sit in corner table my father asked me," ok boy now tell me you
like downtown?" I said yes, but it's not that good that I was thinking my
father smile, and explain me the purpose of downtown, in the meantime a guy
showed up for order we order Chinese food over there and I told him to please
bring me soup first.
After that late lunch we came back home, and I was kind of confused
about what will happen when my mother will see those kittens, but when we came
back home I left the cage in garage and I appear with father, my mother
welcome me with love and asked, "ok tell me what you did?", I
told her all the fun and kept the shopping part hidden to her, ones I felt that
mother is happy I asked her "mom can I tell me something, but you have to
promise me you will not get angry?", she said ,"what's going
on?"

I said again same thing and she smiled and said "ok", after
seeing her loving soft heart I told my mother please close your eyes and don't
open until I tell you, she smiled and said, ``''What's going on?" my
father said with hidden smile," I don't know you have to see", after
she closed her eyes I run into garage and bring the cage, before I told her to
open her eyes kittens told her to open her eyes by their voices. My mother
opened her eyes quickly and said "really" I put the cage down and
went straight to her feet and start bagging, but my mother surprised me by
showing her love and soft nature, she said bring the cage close to me, and she
said these are very cute, but I have to take care there thing; like there food
and all the needs. that was my one of my great days which I can never forget.
