The most interesting place I have visited

Read Now

I am very fortunate to have visited many places. Mostly because my parents were working or traveling there. As my brothers and sister and I grew older we joked about our parents moving a lot, and how we always found them. I hope I don't have to explain that joke.

The most interesting place I visited was Jerusalem. It was some amazing to think that many of the places I walked had been there for 2,500 years. Many of the stones paths we walked on or archeological digs we visited predated the time of Christ. One of the monuments was supposedly the grave of King David. That would be about 3,000 years ago.

The streets in the new city were wide and traveled mostly by cars, buses and motorcycles. They looked like most other city streets in many cities in the middle east, wide, paved, modern, efficient. The narrow walkways of the old city were different.

The streets of the old city were not wide enough to allow a car to travel through them. The buildings on each side rose three of four stories so that you could see very little of the sky. Often the awnings from the shops on the first floor met, or nearly met each other in the center of the street, making a covering for the street. Shops on each side sold nearly everything. One shop in particular I remember was a little restaurant. We had lunch there sometimes. After walking up and down the hills and valleys of the city and the surrounding area we were always hungry. The food was great but the orange juice was amazing!

The oranges sat next to a traditional hand press. The fresh, ripe, bright orange fruit was cut in half and placed the press. A clean glass (at least we hoped it was clean) was placed under the press. As the large handle was lowered the juice flowed down into the glass. That's what was delivered to our table. The juice was cool but not cold, but the unmistakable flavor was what brought us back. I remember many of the places that we visited but the flavor of that orange juice left an impression on me that is remembered

I've favorite place to go to is Lego land.It has a large number of rides and play areas.My favorite ride is the one where you get to test out a bunch of game systems(probably called the game room).They even had XBOX Kinect.There was a really long line though so I didn't get a chance to try it.

The most interesting place I went to is Taipei. I went there because my mom had extra traveling points. I went there with my cousin, aunt and my mom. My dad didn’t go.
There we saw the landmark- Taipei 101. We went inside and it was kind of scary because of the height.
Then, we left on the bus. Our hotel was called Cosmos Hotel.

The most interesting place I've been to out of all the places San Francisco is the most interesting . Everything in SF is just different . For example, the people , the Golden Gate and Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, and the apartment buildings. The best thing to eat over there is either North Beach Pizza or Tommy's Joint:D. And good places to go and visit is the Golden Gate Bridge & Alcatraz<---[it's kinda scary] I really like San Francisco and I would like to go to SF State University when I get older. :D

the most interesting place i have visited is yellowstone national park. i visited it when i was on vacation. It has so many things to go to because it is so big. I visited the hot springs which colored the ground red inside the pools. One Hot spring was so big and hot it created a neverending cloud of steam which covered the walkway. And i also visited the geyser old Faithful which erupted 10 minutes after got there. i bought a stuffed buffalo because i wanted to remember old faithful. It had snow there too so that was the first time i ever touched snow or even seen snow in real life
i also ate at a place that made food only 4 months a year. It tasted good but i only ordered a hot dog. then after that i saw many animals that lived inside the park. then i went home. i will want to go there again.

The most interesting place I went to is Disney's Hollywood Studios at Orlando. Most of my favorite rides are there. Like the Hollywood Tower of Terror and the Rock'n Rollercoaster. There's a lot of spooky stuff in the Tower of Terror.There's other rides too but those two are my favorite.

The most intersting place I have been to was New York.I went there on a tour. I saw lots of trash on the ground and I was hoping someone would pick it up but they didn't.There was lots of people there,so it was very crowded and loud.Sometimes I would get scared because I see homeless people and they frightened me at night with a look.One time I went to the Empire State Building and it was fun. My family got in for free because we were on a tour for the whole week at New York.We took pictures and we also got to look at the amazing view down the Empire State Building.It was kind of scary because it was so tall. One fact I learned from New York was that the Empire State Building was the tallest and the most fastest built building in the world.The other important art sculpture I saw was the Statue of Liberty!It was gigantic. We got to go up on the crown part and look at the amazing view.We bought a roam crown from the gift shop and we also took pictures.I had a fun time in New York with my entire family.We ate yummy food. But the worst thing about there was that we had to wake up at 6:00 in the morning.My 2 older sisters and I couldn't sleep because we kept laughing for no reason. I laughed so much that the next door room heard it and complained.We were told to keep quiet for the whole entire night or else we leave the hotel.The person said that because he was the manager of the hotel.I told my mom and my mom yelled at my sisters.The next days was the last day so we went to visit a fancy garden.It had so many flowers! We weren't allowed to pick them or else we would get in trouble.It was so hot that day that we bought icecream.At 5:00 in the afternoon it was time to leave and say goodbye so we packed our stuff and left off to the airport. And that was the time i visited New York

The most interesting place I have visited was the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando Florida of Universal's Islands of Adventure.Everything looked exactly the same as the scenes from the movies.

There was Hogsmeade, the area where Harry Potter and his friends visited during holidays. There were numerous famous shops. Ollivander's was one of them. Wands from almost every character from Harry Potter, to Voldemort, to Dumbledore, and so on. There was the shop that the Weasley twins opened with a lot of prank toys. There was also a candy shop that sold chocolate frogs and the collectible candy with famous people in it. Realistic restaurants held the same title as the ones in the movies, like the Three Broomsticks. General shops also filled the places selling robes, monster books broomsticks, wands, etc.

The rides were enchanting as well. A ride called Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey took place in the Hogwarts castle (that like everything else, looked exactly the same as the movies).the ride was 4-D and included a screen adventure while flipping through dark corners and smoke and facing sculptures of enormous spiders and creepy dementors. In line there were talking pictures. Outside was Hagrid's hut near a children's roller coaster called Flight of the HippoGriff. The most exciting ride was the Dragon Challenge where two similar vehicles (the kind where your feet dangle) ascend together and zoom off in different directions. We freefall, turn 360 degrees various times go up hair pin turns, curve violently, and nearly crashing into the other vehicle.

Additional features including a creamy, bubbly, foamy, sweet drink called Buttterbeer. Also, there wer unique lockers for the Forbidden Journey ride that involved fingerprint identification (but the machine got confused because of too many people so our fingerprints were denied).

The most interesting place that I visited was when I went to Las Vegas. We had to travel by car so it was really tiring. One of my parents friends lived there and we had to sleep over at there apartment, but there apartment was big enough. I had to stay inside while my parents go outside to play at the casino. They also had a place for kids called Circus Circus and I got prizes for playing their games. I walked around the place and it was huge they even had a fake Lady Liberty. There was also many amazing things there like the fake Lady Liberty, all kinds of food, and there was even an arcade for kid. The part that I didn't like was when we had to travel from where we live to Nevada, by car.

I loved to go to Hawaii. Grandma from China and Great Aunt came also. Sister came from Florida just to go with us. We went to lots of places. We first settled in Waikiki Beach Inn Resort. We went snorkeling and I chased a fish. Great Aunt and mom laughed and the fish swam away. Sister and I told Great Aunt to try, but she refused because she would get wet. when we went to Waikiki Beach, Great Aunt got splashed all over. Another time, we went to Pearl Harbor and learned the war between the Japanese and the Americans. We didn't explore the whole island, but that was enough already. I especially loved this trip because the people that loved went with me and made this trip even fun than ever.
