Original

I had been to Korea 5 or 6 times before. With my girlfriends to watch a concert. Were all fans of one Korean K-Pop group. I think Korea food is delicious. But they don’t have many place to see. I went to Taiwan with my parents and my girlfriend 4-5 years ago. Because we went there with my parents, we went the route I think my parents like to go. My father is a big fan of Taiwanese popstar. I think Taiwan is beautiful, and the people, city, and roads are more like the old Shanghai. Because I like to read some book topic on history from 1910-1940 period. When I went to Taiwan, I think the relationship between Taiwan and China is good. A taxi driver told me he thinks ‘China’s economy is better then Taiwan’.
