The examination from high school to college is very important for every Chinese student. I remember a few days before the examination I had a dream. I dream of a grandpa who told me you have to wear a stone. The next day I told my mum and she went to the market to search that stone. Finally, she found it at a temple. The name of that stone is “Tiger’s eye stone”. She bought a stone bracelet for me. I was not sure whether the stone work or my psychological hint work. I just felt calm and peaceful during the examination.

We got 3 weddings in my home, his home and Thailand. The most impressive thing is, there are a lot of lady-boys attend our wedding.

We seldom have communication so we don’t have trouble.

My ideal vacation is relax and happy of course. I wish I can spend my holiday on the beach with sunshine. Cancun is my ideal honeymoon place where I always long for going. But unfortunately, I couldn’t make it because of time and long-distance. I wish I may spend a week in Cancun. 5-star luxury all-inclusive hotel is the best choice in Cancun. I may spend 3 days to enjoy all excellent cuisines and entertainment equipment in hotel. Then I will go on an adventure in Cancun. The Factors of attracting a great number of tourists include not only the fascinating places of interests also its unique beautiful environment, as well as delicious food. I heard there is a very interesting place (a historical museum under the sea). People can dive to visit and can even send a postcard in the museum.
I am looking for to spend my holiday in there, even my spare time, to harbor city Cancun. Around me are wonderful sights, gentle seawind and booing flowers.
