My first time to go to foreign country is Thailand, so there is special to me.
The food is very good, the cost of living is so much lower than Shanghai, and people are very friendly. Of course my bast favorite thing is the motorcycle.
Then I have been loved diving two years ago, so after first time I also went to Thailand for diving 3 or 4 times.

Next I want talk about is Portugal, even I only went to Porto, but I feel like there’s people has been very chill living style.
When I was there I go to beach everyday, drink at street every night, with some local friends.
At that few days I don’t over thinking anything.

Lats one I want to chose Tokyo. There has something different. You can experience traditional and trendy, local and international, popularity and indpeed. Everything you want. And you don’t need to worry about people’s sights, because on one care.
But I realized if you live there, that’s will be totally different feelings. Because Japan same as China, has the patriarchal society.

Anyway, I deeply hope the world will get better. Miss the days that we can free on everywhere.

Revised: 

My first time to go to a foreign country/abroad is Thailand, so this place is special to me.
The food is very good/delicious, the cost of living is so much lower than in Shanghai, and people are very friendly. Of course, my most favorite part of the trip is riding the motorcycle.
Then I have been diving/I fell in love with diving since two years ago, so after my first trip to Thailand, I also went there 3 or 4 times for diving.

Next, I want to talk about is Portugal, even though I only went to Porto, but I feel their people/people living there have a very chilled lifestyle.
When I was there I went to the beach every day, I drank on the streets every night, with some local friends.
During those few days, I didn’t over think anything/too much.

Last one is Tokyo, it is a very different place. You can experience both traditional and trendy, local and international, popular trends and so on, it depends. Everything you want. And you don’t need to worry about people’s opinions, because no one cares.
But I realized if you live there, these feelings will be totally different because Japan and China have a patriarchal society.

Anyway, I deeply hope the world gets better. I miss the days when we can be free everywhere.
