BANGKOK
Bangkok has become the number one destination in the world for tourists. According to a recent survey carried out by a major company, more tourists are choosing to visit the capital of Thailand than New York City and London. The reason for this recent surge in visitors is the increasing number of wealthy people living in the Asia region. Perhaps the popularity of Bangkok is no surprise since it has a rich history and there are many things for tourists to see and do.
Wats, or temples, are abundant in Bangkok. In fact, you could probably spend an entire two-week vacation trying to explore all the beautiful wats in the city. Wat Arun is one of the most visited wats in Bangkok. It has a tall central tower covered in porcelain. When the sun rises in the morning, it reflects off the tower. This creates a beautiful dazzling effect and it is an unforgettable experience for most visitors. The interior of the building is just as impressive. Beautifully painted murals line the walls and wonderful ceramics are on display.
The floating markets are another tourist hotspot in Bangkok. These are makeshift markets where people sell things from their boats on the river to shoppers on the street. Vendors might peddle anything from old trinkets to delicious food. Tourists can also hire a boat to travel the waters and follow the markets around the city.
Travelers who grow weary of the constant noise and crowds can also get outside the city to experience the beautiful countryside. Hua Hin is a resort that sits along the ocean to the south of the capital. It has a tropical climate throughout the year and offers a peaceful spot to relax and go for a dip in the ocean.

Russia is a beautiful and truly great country that I can called my homeland because I was born and raised in Saint Petersburg. I love my country how can I not? Россия — это замечательная, по-настоящему великая страна, которую я имею полное право называть своей родиной, поскольку я родился и вырос в Санкт-Петербурге. Я очень люблю свою страну, да и разве можно ее не любить?
The most understanding and kind people live here, they are always there to help in case you have a problem. My parents and I travel abroad sometimes and I have never met anyone so responsive and kindhearted. Только здесь живут самые добрые и понимающие люди, которые всегда готовы прийти на окружающим в трудную минуту. Бывая с родителями за границей, я нигде не встречал такого по-настоящему душевного отношения и отзывчивости.
And of course, the nature is so beautiful in Russia. All these endless fields, coniferous forests, deep rivers, clear lakes, valleys and mountains that were depicted in various books. I especially love the Ural mountains. We went camping there with my parents when we visited my grandparents and went kayaking in the Chusovoy river. Еще, конечно же, в России потрясающая природа. Это бескрайние поля, густые хвойные леса, полноводные реки, чистые озера, равнины и горы, к описанию которых не раз обращались многие русские литературные деятели. Особенно моему сердцу близки Уральские горы. Туда мы не раз всей семьей ходили в поход, приезжая в гости к бабушке, а также сплавлялись на байдарках по реке Чусовой.
I like the fact that our country is so big and it feels like the whole life time is not enough to visit every corner of it. I’ve been to Moscow, Ekaterinburg, Rostov-on-Don and even in Noviy Urengoy and Russia is different everywhere. People who live in the South are very different from the people living in the North. Moscow and Saint Petersburg residents are totally different story. I think it’s the main secret and peculiarity of our country. Мне нравится, что наша страна очень большая и, кажется, целой жизни не хватит, чтобы объехать каждый ее уголок. Я был уже и в Москве, и в Екатеринбурге, и в Ростове-на-Дону, и даже в Новом Уренгое, и везде Россия такая разная. Люди, живущие на юге, сильно отличаются от людей, живущих на севере, а москвичи и петербуржцы — это, вообще, отдельная категория россиян. И в этом, как мне кажется, заключается одна из главных загадок и особенностей нашей страна.
I don’t just love Russia, I’m proud of it because a lot of famous scientists, researchers and artists were born here. For example, my favorite writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, people across the world are reading his book up till now. Я не просто люблю Россию, но еще и очень горжусь ей, ведь именно здесь родилось множество известных ученых, исследователей и деятелей искусства. В частности, мой самый любимый писатель Антон Павлович Чехов, произведения которого до сих пор люди с удовольствием читают во всем мире.
A lot of people I know are not happy with Russia and some of them even want to leave the country and find a better place. I understand them but I don’t support it. I think wherever you go your heart will always be connected to your home and your soul will always want to go back to your homeland. Многие мои знакомые ругают Россию, а некоторые даже хотят уехать из нее в поисках лучшей жизни. Я могу понять их стремление, но не разделяю его. Мне кажется, что куда бы ни уехал человек, сердцем он всегда будет привязан к дому, и душа его будет неизменно стремиться туда, где его родина.
