THE COUNTRYSIDE THROUGH VISITORS' EYES

- There was so much space! We could run around the
fields and shout out loud without disturbing anybody.
(Dennis from London)
- Swimming in the river, picking blackberries, collecting
honey from beehives ... I have never had a more
interesting vacation. (Julie from Paris)
- No running water. No electricity. And the only
entertainment centre is miles away. Can't stay here
any longer! (Phirun from Phnom Penh)

- I love the vast open spaces, the fresh air and the feeling of
freedom in the countryside. They are experiences I can
never have in Seoul. (Yumi from Seoul)
- I don't mind visiting those street markets where the locals sell
their home-made products. However, city life is more exciting.
(Emi from Tokyo)
- Last week I went on a trip to the countryside and had my first
experience of farm work: digging holes, planting vegetables
and collecting tomatoes. Unforgettable! (Lan from Ha Noi)

inconvenient. (Bob from Hong Kong )

@ Phirun: I think you should enjoy the fresh air and
the simple lifestyle in the countryside instead of
complaining. It is also a unique experience.
@ Julie: Wow! I wish I can experience such an
amazing summer vacation like you did.
@ Dennis: You must be in the countryside, there is no
place like this in a city.
@ Emi: I totally agree with you. Life in the city is more
