Two years ago, I traveled to Thailand and Singapore. I like Thailand more than Singapore, because in Thailand, you can feel very relaxed. You can see the beach, eat good food, especially some fruits. In there you can spend little money doing more things. I don’t like the hot weather, because it may prevent you to walk on the beach where the temperature is highest. I don’t like the religion, they like to have spiritual plates with them.

In Singapore, everything is expensive. Although it is called Garden City, everything looks like order. But it’s very difficult for you to buy something common, because you can’t find stores in the street. You will want to buy something you must to the shopping mall. It has some famous sceneries and cultures because in Singapore, you can see four countries people include Indian, Malaysian, Chinese and local. So you went to Singapore, you can see they live in different part. If you went to one of the areas: Indian, you will be embraced by the Indian culture, and you can see the Indian buildings and people.

Two years ago, I traveled to Thailand and Singapore. I like Thailand more than Singapore, because in Thailand, you can feel very relaxed. You can see the beach, eat good food, especially good fruits. In Thailand, you can do many things while spending only little money doing more things. I don’t like the hot weather, because it prevents you/stops you from walking on the beach where the temperature is the highest. I don’t like their religion, many of them like to carry spiritual plates with them.

In Singapore, everything is expensive. Although it is called the Garden City, Everything looks like order. But It’s very difficult for you to buy necessities, because you can’t find convenient stores in the street. If you want to buy something, you must go to the shopping mall. There are many famous sceneries and different cultures because in Singapore, you can see people from four countries people including Indian, Malaysian, Chinese and locals. So if you were to go to Singapore, you could see them living in different areas. If you went to one of the areas: Indian, you would be embraced by the Indian culture, and you could see the Indian buildings and the people.

People say the early bird catches the worm. This means people who wake up early do many things. They also say: “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” This may be true. Scientists found that people who go to bed early do better in tests. People who sleep and wake up early (early birds) have an advantage over people who sleep and wake up late (night owls). They found differences in the brains of early birds and night owls.
