I WISH... I had enough money to travel around the world. It is very interesting for me to know about different cultures, languages and life styles of other countries, that's why I really want to go everywhere around the world.

  If I had the opportunity to visit a country, the first one I choose would be Cuba. I think that Cuba is a very interesting country - cuturally speaking-; the music has been very important in my life, and I really enjoy to listen to cuban music because it always reminds me of my grandmother.

To travel around the world I need to now many languages

 so I wish I could learn a lot of languages to be able to

understand what people say, how they live and also it will

be a huge advantage for me. I would be very successful in

 my carreer.

I would like to share all of this with my family. I'm sure they will anjoy it as well as I do. We can have a lot of fun :D

My dream is having my own big family and lovely house. I have been living with my parents and my only  sibling so it is quiet small family. I always wish I could have a big family since I was young. Besides, my relatives live far away and it was hard to visit them or to be in touch with them. Since I started to work after graduating from university, I had to live apart from my parents and live by myself. My sister had to go to Japan to study in Tokyo university as well. Now my family have been separated from each other for a long time and we can get together just twice a year. I always dream of  having a big family so if I get married I will suggest to my parents to live with us. I love my parents so living without my parents was really hard for me. It's the time to find my Mr. right and make my own family. I wish my future husband had a big family as well. I hope my long cherished desire can come true at last.

Having a lovely house is my another wish . I will buy a house in the suburb because I'm not a city person even though I have been raised in a big city. I like nature and I think human is also part of nature. I'd like to raise my children to live in  nature and have beautiful minds. I will plant different fruit trees in my garden to let my children see flowers and pick various fruits and eat them. One day in spring time, enjoying the beautiful weather, having lunch in my garden with my family and  reading children books to my kids on the grass would be my the happiest moment in the future.

I wish I were a backpacker

Backpacking is one of the things I would love to do before I die. Backpacking is a cheaper way to travel around the world that includes the use of a backpack or other kind of luggage that is easy to carry around for long distances or long periods of time;  you can also use the public transportation and stay in hostels (like a hotel, but much cheaper). Another fact about backpacking is that the duration of the trip is longer in comparasion to a normal trip and usually you spend less money in it.

If I had the opportunity to travel around the world, the first country I would love to visit is the Netherlands because they have amazing places to go, and its capital, Amsterdam  is so beautiful itself and it has a lot of history. I would love to learn about and also to explore Rotterdam and go to the Euromast which is an observation tower when you can see the whole city.

Another city I would love to visit is Barcelona because I would love to visit La Sagrada Familia which is a church of the Holy Family. It  has a lot of history and importance for spanish people, and then explore each church they have, and after that I would like to visit Germany and see all the good things they have, but before I start to make my backpack I need to realize that I need money and time to do so. I hope I can do it in some near future.

Mario - I wish...

I wish I were on my bed right now

I wish I could spent the whole summer just being lazy, slacking and sleeping, eating and napping, all day, all summer long.

The everyday life has driven people to their limits, creating a stressed society beyond any limits seen before. In big cities, the effect is even worst, because there's traffic, crime, pollution, and a series of factors that bring the quality of life into very low marks.

The social-financial-career obligations has made us forget or overlook the importance of taking some time of and relax, rebuild our strengths, to recharge our battery.

In modern world, people living in massive urban areas get used to live in average to poor conditions and often tend to accept it as a sign of a new era, where everything is faster, colder and only benefits those who are stronger or in many cases have more money.

That's why I'll say: Lets get a little lazy!

If I could have only one wish to make, I would wish to have more time and money to see all the world.



I would like to see every part of the world, because I love to travel and I find very interesting the traditions in every country.

There's a lot of awesome places that I would like to go, and have some fun with my family.

 

I like to go to new places and learn more abourt their culture, because it's a once in a life experience, we don't know when we're going to have this opportunity again, so that would be so awesome, if I could travel all my life and have  enough money to do it.

I would like to go to Bora Bora, Dubai, Tokyo, Australia, Las Vegas. Those are very beautiful places to go, but they are so expensive to travel to, so if I could have more money, I would go there, and have an amazing time with my family.

In Bora Bora, we could go rest in the beach, have a gorgeous house in the beach, go swimming, and at night we could have an enourmus dinner, and wath a performance. Then we could

Raina- 1 - city (Busan)

  

Busan, you must see!

  Hi everyone! I'd like to introduce my hometown in Korea to you all. I have been raised in Busan and I love my city because it is amazing city. Busan is second largest metropolice after Seoul in Korea. Also, Busan is a must see in South Korea. Busan is harbour city just like Vancouver and it has mild weather. In the summer is not too hot and in the winter is not too cold.

   Busan has been loved by many tourists due to a lot of attractions such as beautiful beaches, spas, restaurant, great night life(including 7 Luck casino) and fun festivals. Now, I'm going to let you know some attractions that you must to visit.

   Haundae is one of the most popular beach in Busan. In Summer, tons of people visit Haundae and you can see all the umbrellas up, enjoying hot weather between croweded people can be fun. The restaurants which located near the sea always serve fresh seafoods and give you joy.   

   Haedong Yonggung Temple is my favorite place. This is the best temple I have visited and only temple that I know of that is by water. The view is spectacular and impressive. Scenic beauty of the place along with the architectural beauty of the temple makes it a fascinating place where you would always like to come back.

   Busan is emerging as Asia’s top shopping destination. Have you heard about the world's largest department store? That is in Busan as you guess. The name is Shinsegae department and it houses the top of the luxury brands with the latest fashion trends. It also houses local brands that feature clothing and shoes that are of good quality, fashionable and reasonably priced. Are you looking for all in one? Go visit here right away.

 

  Jagalchi market the largest fish market in Korea. All fish and shellfish are caught daily and sold fresh to people, almost right off the boat. Every year in October, the Jagalghi Festival celebrates the area and products. Come and See and Buy! This is their motto in the festival.

  If you have any chance to visit Korea, don't forget to visit Busan as well. I hope to see you in Busan in someday. Busan never get you disapointed. Welcome to Busan!

Daniel - 4 - City

Villahermosa

The Green City

Villahermosa, the evergreen city. Sometimes a Hell, sometimes a Heaven. There are many stories and legends written in the rocks, trees and streets of the city. You can feel the scent of life in this teemed city, what are you waiting to visit it?

Located in the southeast of Mexico, forming part of the Mexican Gulf. It has a tropical weather, with really hot temperatures reaching 40°C in summers and slightly cold temperatures of 20°C in winter, the isn't a big variation in the moonsoon weather between seasons. There are jungles and swamps and a wide range of tropical fauna.

Sadly, because of several tumultuous skirmishes and battles throughout the city's history, many historical  heritages are damaged or have been lost. But what gives life to the city is the closeness to nature and the environments and lives and that depend of it.

However, what the city does have, is traditions. Dishes or variations of dishes you will only find here, like certain enchiladas and tamales made with some special cochinita (pork) that gives it a speical flavor. We also have sweets, such as dulce de leche (milk candy) and the famous pozol, a refreshing drink made with cacao. Ritual dances that have peen practiced since olmecs and mayans time. Unique handcraft, such as special pots called jicaras, and unique flora, such as trees called Ceiba, that grow tall and broad in roughly 20 years. It was believed by the mayans that this tree was the bridge between Heaven, Hell and Earth. There are also legends around the Ceibas, like the legend of the White Woman, that tells that a spirit of a wailing bride haunts men that come close to the tree at nights.

The city's biggest resource is oil, which has good and bad consequences, the good part is, it's helping the city become a modern one, slowly becoming one of the most important in the country and the second biggest in Mexico's southeast. What the city needs is a chance, and once it arrives the city will soar and become what it should be; a beautiful fusion of nature and modernity.
