Blog Entry #1: A Country I’d Like to Visit



  I’m not very fond of travelling. It’s not that I hate it; I just don’t love it. Many people I’ve known go nuts when it comes to visiting other countries, but it’s not that exciting for me.
  There are, however, a few countries I wouldn’t mind visiting. I’m really curious about Italy. The art, history and food there could make it a memorable trip. The Vatican, for example, would be my number one in a checklist of places to visit in Italy.
  The country I would be most delighted to visit, though, is England; to be honest, mostly because of the weather, which is said to be very cloudy, with only a few days of sun each year.
  England is well known for its great and ever-growing music scene. In fact, most of my favorite bands are British. It would be great to attend to live shows of such bands, and I would definitely try to if I were to travel there.
  Of course, there’s the fish n’ chips; it’s a crime to visit London, for example, and not to try that dish. Smoking good quality tobacco and having a nice cup of tea would be great too.
  Would I like to live there? Sure. The British accent would be the first obstacle, to be honest… although it’s not as hard to understand as the punk-ish Scottish accent.
  The second barrier would be discrimination. The situation with Pakistani immigrants has grown very spiky, and I don’t really know how a South American would be treated.
  Aside of that, and the fact that I’m not much of a traveller, England would be a great place to live.
