Describe the country you are currently living and the one you are longing to visit.

Describe the country you are currently living.

I currently live in Taiwan, which is a lovely island across from China with Taiwan Strait in between. Among its cities, I love the southern city, Tainan, the most, where I spend most of my time.

As the oldest metropolis, even older than the current capital, Taipei, in Taiwan, Tainan is famous for its historic structures and culture. Besides, it’s nicknamed the city of delicious cuisine. Let’s talk about the dishes here.

Delicious local dishes always attract flocks of visitors.

And they are not found in restaurants, but vendors instead.

The locals always claim that they live where the best tastes are available. Namely, delicious cuisines scatter almost everywhere across the city and they never disappoint.

For me, beef soup and plain noodles are 2 options topping the chart of my recommendation.

Tainan has been established for over 400 years. It has a slow-paced life style and a lot of historic architectures. We can stroll around the streets, immersing ourselves in the comfortable atmosphere by scooter.

Now, there is also a magnificent museum, called chih-mei museum in Tainan. Sculptures, instruments and drawings exhibited here are priceless. Recently, it also has on display the famous drawing by Vangogh and Monnet from England gallery.

This is where people can learn a lot and feel relaxed in Tainan city.

Describe the country you are longing to visit.

Talking about the country I want to visit in the future, England is the place that attracts me a lot with its culture, historic buildings and mild climate.

There, famous destinations abound, such as big Ben, tower bridge, and Edinburgh castle.

Plus, I am curious about how this nation has nurtured so many celebrities and greats.

Maybe, visiting there will give me the answer.
