I believe that everyone loves travelling. It always brings joy and fun to us and we never want to leave at the end of the trip.  

During the half term, I went to France with my family for 4 days, and it was the first time in my entire life! I was so excited and expecting a lot. It did not disappoint me as well. 

The Arch of Triumph was the first place I went after I arrived. It was so amazing and fascinating, plus as a 3D student, I really like the design of 12 avenues surrounding the monument. I was lucky enough to go to the top of the building and have a look from the top. It is like a clock and the number of 12 is very special. I have also been to famous landmarks like the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Champs-Elysee and the Palace of Versailles. Moreover, the food in France tasted superb, I had the best Western meal ever! I actually like planning the trip myself as there is a high flexbility and we can do whatever we like.

After the trip, I have a really strong feeling that travelling around and going to different places is better than reading voluminously, because you can feel different cultures and this could hardly be found from books. I look forward to my next trip!
