NEW YORK! NEW YORK! (8)

 Travelling is my very first scene. I like travelling anywhere, from Chile to my grandma’s house, so it broaden your mind and your knowledge. I love getting to know new and unspoilt places, where I had never been before, and this year I have the great opportunity to fulfill my wish once and for all: visiting America.

 Though I’m pretty sure I’m coming down Chicago next summer holidays (as a part of a exchange), I’d rather go to New York. I’ve been twice in London and I reckon, all in all, England is a very dull country.  I believe the USA will be far better as I’ve been told that it’s amazingly the most interesting country in the world, and what’s more, last excursion was very well-run (at least that’s what I could check watching the video).

Better still, we could go to both cities!
