F2F Class Notes (Joe) [w]

Today we focused on:

Osaka is the city I would like visit most recently. There are many popular clothing stores and interesting stationery stores. I like new clothes better than new lipstick,so I enjoy it. And I did a lot of planning through the tourists sharing on social media. But there was always something that made me put my Osaka travel on hold. I don’t like travelling because packing often upsets me.
Every city has its own view and I also can’t pick my favorite city now,I don’t like Shanghai. It is getting better and better but many places and people with historical atmosphere are becoming less and less. The world is working so fast now that I often want to escape, so I like cities with historical atmosphere, such as xian and beijing where time is always so slow and the culture in the past is very interesting.

Osaka is the city that I’ve recently decided to visit. There are many popular clothing stores and interesting stationary stores. I like new clothes better than new lipstick, so I enjoy shopping for clothes. And, I got a lot of information from tourists through social media, which I used to plan my trip. But, there was always something that made me put my trip to Osaka on hold. I don’t like traveling because it often stresses me out. Every city has its own view and I also can’t pick my favorite city. I don’t like Shanghai. It’s getting better and better but many places have a less historical atmosphere and people have a less traditional lifestyle. The world is moving so fast now that I often want to escape, so I like cities with a historical atmosphere, such as Xi’an and Bejing, where time always moves slowly and the culture of the past is fascinating.
