travel and transport

I usually travel by plane in summer with my family. The city I like the most is Seoul. It has many landscape and fresh air. However, I always have to come to airport before 3 hours, because I won't get on the plane if I come on time. Even if, I still like moving by plane, It is known as a fastest transportation, so I can save a lot of time.

I have travelled by plane twice and that too within the country. It is my dream to visit and explore the whole world so I would like to visit at least Switzerland, France, Canada, The Netherlands, Belgium and many more.

I travel by plane about every two years. Some of my travel had been to another countries and some of them to the cities of my country. I has traveled to Swiss, Chaina, Turkey and Saudi Arabia by plane.

I am not yet visited the country, but I hope can learn with awardee in UK. Aamiin

I'm not often using airlane to travel. I had been travel to Thai Lan two month ago

Oh. I am twenty-two years old. But I have never been traveled by plane before. As you know, my country is middle-income, so it's very difficult for Vietnamese people to travel by plane. I think half past Vietnamese people has never been traveled by plane, and me too. If I have the opportunity to travel abroad, I will choose China. Because I love Chinese landscapes, culture, films, foods, etc..., Moreover, Vietnamese culture and Chinese culture have many similarities. So, I think China is the best choice.
