Foot O-Long is my favorite snack in the whole world. However, only the US sells this snack and there’s no place that sells Foot O-Long in Taiwan. I can only please someone who is in America to help me buy it. Therefore, during my trip to the US with a camp led by my school, I started to find my favorite snack. Nonetheless, because I went with my school, I wasn’t free to go to different places by myself.

On the first week in America, we went to a shopping center on Friday. All I could think about was finding that snack. I went to every candy store with my friends with no results. We walked and walked, and suddenly, we arrived at a very small store that sold some snacks. Despite not having any luck, I decided to enter. Suddenly, I saw a familiar package that said Foot O-Long! I was so happy! I took one package and went to pay.

At the end of our trip, we went to the airport. Our camp was at Hostile, so we needed to take airplanes to Houston before flying back to Taiwan. After we arrived in Houston, we had more free time than we expected. Our teacher said we can go to Target and shop for more! I was super excited and happy that I could finally buy more Foot O-Long! When I got home, I showed my parents the boxes of Foot O-Long I bought. They were so happy about it! I guess being able to buy my favorite snacks was one of the things I was most satisfied with during the trip.
