My Favorite Place

by Barakat Alkenani

Everyone has a special place, a place where you can be you, where you can find peace and harmony. A place where you know you are just happy being there.  For some it's a quiet place, for others it's a hustling, bustling, full of people  place. But all of these places have one thing in common; they are places where you'd run to in times of both joy and stress.  Well I'd like to share something of my place and hopefully take you there in your mind. My favorite place is my neighborhood in my country, Saudi Arabia. There are many things in this place for like. First, I lived there since I was a child, so I still remember all the events that have passed. Most of my friends I have are living in this neighborhood. I studied all my grades school in this place. Second, there is a big filed to play soccer with my friends every weekend. Also, there are some public services such as a supermarket, restaurant, pharmacy, and hospital. Moreover, I always enjoy my time going to picnic at the neighbor’s park with my friends or family. In addition, we have our traditional dance that we do it there in any celebration. My friends and I are interested to attending this celebration. Finally, the great thing I like that I can meet my friends there every day to chat or play computer games. After 20 years, most of my friends have worked in different cities, so when we meet each other we remember that great time we had at this place.
