Which place would you choose for a holiday?
No matter where I choose for a holiday, it will be fun if I am with my bf.
We have loved for 2 years and have travelled many places, but I love 2 places following: Da Lat city - a beautiful city with cool weather and many flowers, Thuy Chau ecotourism park where we camped, had lunch and spring bath. The next holiday in August, we are going to visit Da Nang city. This is the first time I fly to go there. I'm so excited about it!

It depends. Sometimes I like countryside and sometimes I really like to visit new cities.

I’d choose the flat because it’s in the city and there’re a lot of convenient things more than countryside. And can go anyplace easier than countryside
