MY VACATION / MIS VACACIONES
Hi! My name is Fhasal Alam. I'll be writing for El Torringtoniano this year. During the summer, I went to Bangladesh for three weeks. My family is from there. My parents immigrated from Bangladesh to the United States in 2001. Because of this, we travel to Bangladesh every two or three years. However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it's been six years since we traveled to Bangladesh.
I had a lot of fun with my family. It was great to see my cousins and to travel to so many places in Bangladesh. I even attended my cousin's wedding. Weddings in Bangladesh are three days. Usually, on the first day, the groom's side and the bride's side have a dance competition, where everyone dances to see which side is better. I practiced some dances and performed. Afterward, we went to Dhaka, the capital, and to Cox's Bazar, a city known for its beaches and seafood.
I am happy to bring my memories with me. I was a little sad when I left Bangladesh to go back to America. I will remember these moments for the rest of my life.

¡Hola! Me llamo Fhasal Alam. Estaré escribiendo para El Torringtoniano este año. Durante el verano, fui a Bangladesh por tres semanas. Mi familia es de allí. Mis padres emigraron de Bangladesh a los Estados Unidos en el 2001. Por lo tanto, viajamos a Bangladesh cada dos o tres años. Sin embargo, por la pandemia de COVID-19, han pasado seis años desde que viajamos a Bangladesh la última vez.
Me divertí con mi familia. Fue estupendo ver a mis primos y viajar a muchos lugares en Bangladesh. También asistí a la boda de mi primo. Las bodas en Bangladesh duran tres días. Generalmente, en el primer día, el lado del novio y el lado de la novia tienen una competencia de baile, donde todos bailan para ver cuál lado es mejor. Practiqué algunos bailes y actué. Después, fuimos a Dhaka, la capital, y a Cox's Bazar, una ciudad muy popular por sus playas y mariscos.
Estoy feliz de traer mis recuerdos conmigo. Estaba un poco triste cuando dejé Bangladesh para regresar a Estados Unidos. Los recordaré por el resto de mi vida.
