At the end of January, my boyfriend Xing and I went to the USA. At that time, we never knew what happened in the future. It was a terrible year. We spent a week in California for fun and then we went to Mexico. Yeah it was my first time to be there and I had a lot of fun over there. I tried to surf, dive, look for the turtle’s babies and so on in my first time there. The first month in Mexico, we got a relaxed life. Everyday we just chilled until after a month. Because of the corona virus, a few countries closed the border to China and everything was closed,even my return flight ticket. Finally I realized the world would be worse and worse. But we could do nothing,and just be still alive. So we decided to go on a roadtrip with our friend. We saw a lot of traditional festivities, beautiful places, interested people and amazing attractions in somewhere. We knew about the local culture and custom, and even learned how to cook the local food. Yes of course, we had a lot of fun from this roadtrio. And also we had some bad memories in it. Somehow,someone joined us in a half trip and something was broken the balance…

At the end of January, my boyfriend Xing and I went to the USA. At that time, we didn’t know what would happen in the future. It has been a terrible year. We spent a week in California for fun and then we went to Mexico. Yeah it was my first time to stay / visit / go there and I had a lot of fun over there. I tried to surf, dive, look for baby turtles and so on during my first time there. The first month in Mexico, we had a relaxed life. Everyday we just chilled until after a month. Because of the corona virus, a few countries closed their borders to China and everything was closed, and even my return flight was cancelled. Finally I realized the world would be / get worse and worse. But we couldn’t do anything, except to stay alive. So we decided to go on a roadtrip with our friend. We saw a lot of traditional festivities, beautiful places, interesting people and amazing attractions everywhere. We learned about the local culture and customs, and even learned how to cook the local food. Yes of course, we had a lot of fun but also we had some bad memories during this roadtrip. Somehow, someone joined us during half the trip / for the 2nd half of the trip and it broke the balance / and it killed the mood.
