(To whom it may concern, I know my story isn't about the specific country. I truly want to share my travel experience with you. Therefore, I took the chance to think outside the box. I hope you don't mind it. Enjoy it. : ) ) 【Why shouldn't we fall in love?】 Singapore was my first love. I’ve made my decision to visit Singapore on my 18th birthday. After all these years, I still remember all the street lights at night in Orchard road and all the fancy food at the night market. One more carrot cake ? why not! This city is amazing. Singapore is with a great variety of people and culture. At the moment, I think I saw the world there. Everyone looks busy during the day time, but during the evening, this city vibe becomes so clam and peaceful. There was a beach bar called full moon. Lovely name, isn’t it? I tried margarita for the very first time at the bar there. Cheers to Singapore! Speaking of my travel experience, I would never forget about London. I couldn't get enough for its charm. Each street, every corner, even the air and the locals, you can feel the artsy atmosphere everywhere. Try cereal killer café on Brick Lane, you are gonna love the place. They even got a Dexter poster on the wall. Needless to say, it is a place to welcome all types of killas. Only joking. :) I took a long walk at night to visit Millennium Bridge. Standing in the middle of the bridge crossing the River Thames, watching all bright colourful lights reflected on the river, hearing families and lovers talk and laugh passing by, I was in love with the view, but at the same time I was feeling all alone by myself. Doesn’t that feel exactly the same like when you are in the relationship with someone? I think my love for London is the strongest since I went back for it four times. My recent favorite country: Hawaii I can feel my heart beat ultra fast each time I talk about my trip in Honolulu. Fancy food is for sure. Honolulu had me at POKÉ, the authentic POKÉ! Easy and simple, but I am in love with it ever since. Listening to the huge waves sounds from Waikiki while I was sleeping. Somehow, I got too thrilled to sleep just wanted to get up to feel the serene atmosphere for hours till the break of dawn. It is like living in the dream…the dream is full of love and happiness. Although it rains sometimes, it’s the best city to dance in the rain with the rainbow in the sky. Aimlessly wandering down the streets in Oahu's Kakaako District is the best walk ever. So many street art murals, I can’t finish seeing all at once. They are all breathtaking! They are so much more waiting for me to be explored. I just wish I can have enough time to see all the wonders. And yea, what’s underneath the Chinaman's Hat? I guess I will have to wait the next time to find out. SO! Hawaii, until next time… I treat each travel experience like a new relationship to me. At first, I know nothing about the city and this unknown feeling got me all excited. Then I get to know each other more during the entire trip and it’s the perfect moment to make a connection. Things I didn’t expect to find and surprises I didn’t expect to get. Finally, we fall in love then we have to say goodbye…..oh well, at the airport. I certainly know that this goodbye won’t be forever. We will meet again, one day.
