Original

I have been travel to Japan, Korea, Germany, French, and a lot of countries in Asia. In all of the cities I have traveled in, my favorites are Tokyo and Bangkok. Both of these two cities are very clean. Before I went Bangkok, I thought this city is not very modern. When I went to Bangkok, I think that its very clean. I think that Tokyo is a very modern city, and is more similar to Shanghai and you can find a lot of fashion things such as cute designer products. Also has a lot of special food, you can find sushi/sashimi. You can find a lot of temple in Bangkok also some special foods like Tom yum.
