Starting from when I was very young, I think I was about 6 years old back then, my uncle who was very active often took me and my cousins to visit some places and to travel around. We sometimes went overseas, sometimes in Korea. At first I never liked to travel so I didn’t really like the fact that we had to travel so often. However, my feeling gradually became positive about travelling since I started to like the feeling where I can see new things that I could not see and experiencing some new activities.
Hongkong was where I loved to visit, and the most easy to visit. I lived in Shenzhen, which was about only an hour away from Hongkong, so whenever my mom and I were bored we would go to Hongkong to shop. I think part of this is because my uncle made me used to go experience and explore a lot of different things in different cities. I enjoyed Hongkong with a lot of different foods and items. And we made a lot of memories there.
Every summer our whole family, including our grandparents, go to HongCheon, Sono village and go to the water park. We go there and make a lot of different memories, play, eat and rest. HongCheon Sono village is on the top of the hill, so the sky and the air is really fresh. Something very unique about this place is that we never get bored there. We never ever get bored there.
I thought Jeju Island was just the same as Seoul, since Jeju is also part of South Korea. Thus at first I thought that there wouldn’t be anything so interesting in Jeju, it is possible that the things are what I’ve seen already, however, it was totally different. I was able to see some flowers and it was full of green grass. I loved the peaceful and calm atmosphere there at Jeju. We even went to a teddy bear shop to see some teddy bears and since then I was obsessed with teddy bears.
Macau was also very close to Shenzhen, however a bit far away. Once my mom’s friend came to visit and we went to Macau together. We went to our reserved hotel, same hotel where my grandparents came, and we enjoyed the time there. I think my mom enjoyed it the most, since my mom and her friend has about 14 years of relationships, so I think that’s why it was much more memorable
We were supposed to go to California this year in March, however, due to the covid, our flight got cancelled and we could not go to california. We came to Korea to meet our family and to see our grandparents and we couldn’t go back to China. We had to stay in Korea, move our home and go to a new school. Which was very exciting since I can experience and explore different things in different places.
