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)
- Country life doesn’t excite me at all. So boring and inconvenient. (Bob from Hong Kong )

@ 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 convenient and suitable for youngsters like us.
