A special moment I enjoyed with my family

Last year, during the December holiday, my family decided to take a month break from all the stress and heat of Singapore. We decided to escape to London, Venice, Rome and China(Beijing). I was excited about Venice, Rome but not China. Since young, I have never wanted to be a Chinese.(I'm a disgrace....) I had always wanted to be some other race for some reason. I did well in primary school but hated chinese and China. I guess it was a natural grudge, and the countless times being squashed in their underground trains, without an apology... I tried to tell myself that they had hardened because of the environment, but just couldn't get over their self centeredness. They speak loudly anywhere they go and scold you if you walk into their shop without buying anything... However, I have gotten over my hatred for chinese associated things. About London- We have been there many times. And the clothes are very stylish and their musicals are amazing! I watched Lion king, Phantom of the opera and Love never dies. I watched   Phantom of the opera the start of last year, and when I heard there was a sequel to it, I asked my parents to buy tickets to see it. I recommend watching Phantom of the opera and Love never dies, for they are masterpieces.  The story line and music captures my heart. About Venice- It has back alleys that you have to walk through if you don't travel on boat.(There are no roads and the boat taxi is very expensive because it is a tourist attraction) We visited the historical places and watched a play about its history. Its very interesting. We bought two venice masks from Venice. It is a very interesting place and is definitely a must-see. Rome was also a very historical place. The Vatican city was amazing! I love the architecture, the artwork and others! There was this chamber where the famous paintings were painted on the wall. However, we were not permitted to take photos. The ruins of the old Towers and Castles were not as interesting as they all look the same. However, the statues and the Gelato(Ice cream) were amazing! About China(Beijing)- Somehow the trip made me be proud that I am a chinese and my chinese improved. The things there are very cheap! we barely had any space left in our luggages.( In fact we had to squeeze them in.) And we visited the historical places though they all looked the same. That was the most special moments spent with my family. -THE STUDENT!
