Q: Tell me about the most memorable city that you’ve been to

A: The most memorable city I went to is Maldives. I have been there 3 times. Every time was pretty great. First time I went to the islands for holiday, but second time I went to the central islands of Maldives, it’s kind different because the central islands is a little bit dirty, like the village of China. But the holiday islands is pretty great like the 5-star hotel. I think the whole Maldives country is.. all of them work for travel industry. I went to diving… one of my colleague bought a go-pro and he shoot the whole time, so I can keep the video and have good time. And we see the dolphin, so it’s great memory.
