The most beautiful is New Zealand because the nature is very picturesque and natural. I think the most beautiful city that I visited was Paris in France. Paris is a very historical and stylish city.Question 3
I think any country that has a Disneyland / Disneyword is popular for Japanese people. They adore Disney things. Hawaii is also extremely popular for Japanese tourists too.Question 4
When I was in my teens I really wanted to visit The UK. I had hyped it up a lot in my mind so when I went there I was disappointed in that it was not what I thought it was going to be. It is still a great place but I thought it was going to be better than what I experienced.Question 5
I don't mind flying although I can never sleep on the plane. If you cant sleep on the plane and your journey if going to be a long one, I recommend sleeping as much as you can before your trip so when you stay awake on the plane you can watch movies, read a book, or listen to music.Question 6
I would love to visit Las Vegas with some good friends because it is a wild and crazy city. In terms of nature, I would like to visit the Grand Canyon in The USA. A historical place I would like to visit is Machu Picchu in Peru.Tough Vocabulary
