Some people is the big fan of walk and some not very convenient places. I like the travel which I can feel relaxed. I like the cities where the culture is different from China or have some special characters.

I don’t like the group of travel agencies. 4 persons with friends or family members. When I was a child or the classmates organised by the school.

Some big place, you have to take very long time to travel around and I don’t like make a schedule very tight.

Cruise trip in China is not very long time. It’s 4-7 days so it’s okay for young people I think.

The start hub is not in China – you have to fly to another country like Singapore or America.

The weather of South America is not very hot. I saw the schedule of the trip package. You can go to 10 countries in 16 days. Maybe 10 years ago, the 10 countries European group is very popular in China.

When grandparents took children to cruise because there are some kindergarten or park and you can leave the children there.

Writing exercise

The first priority is to buy a good camera, because I will see so many amazing views of the world soon and a good camera can help me to keep beautiful and reality memories. Then I shall talk with my boss and quit my job if he doesn’t approve my one-year off application. It is necessary to do some research on the countries which I am going to. I want to go ahead by season if I can arrange the schedule by myself. Considering there are different views in different season, it should be great that travel in the most beautiful season of a place. A long trip is also a trip of adventure, so, I think I will make good preparation of the schedule and also prepare some buffer time to enjoy the surprise during the travel.

The first priority is to buy a good camera because I will see so many amazing views of the world soon and a good camera can help me to capture beautiful and real/truthful memories. Then I shall talk with my boss and I will quit my job if he doesn’t approve my one-year off application. It is necessary to do some research on the countries which I am going to. I want to plan my trip/organise the order in which I go on this trip by season if I can arrange the schedule by myself. Considering there are different views/sceneries in each season, it would be great to travel to a place during the most beautiful season. A long trip is also a trip of adventure, so, I think I will prepare the schedule/myself well and also allocate some buffer/extra/free time to enjoy any surprises during the trip.
