It is difficult to choose one because, when I´ve had the oportunity to travel, I really enjoy and appreciate each place since the moment when I planned it; even so, if I have to choose one, is Stockholm,in Sweedan. It is a completly differnent city of the other I had seen, three islands comunicated by bridges made of stone, magnificent churches; a lot of them, magnificent museums and one of them with a real viking boat called The Vasa which was found in perfec conditions, I visited the theatre where the Nobel Prize is given. In this place, It seems as if the poverty did not exist; they shown so respect for the elderly that made me feel good. there are a kind of security not imaginable, I never saw a policeman not even in the streets, the supermarkets, the banks or the museums, astonished!!. and in this trip that last 40 days, I went to Helsinki in a crusiere, this has given to the trip the plus that made me choose it.

Well, that isn't difficult. I think, well, i'm convinced that the city I've really enjoyed the most is Amsterdam. For two main reasons: the first, because the travel was free and Amsterdam is a very nice city. I've never seen more bycicles in the street; and the view of the Amstel river at night is simply awsome!. The Van Gogh museum and, also, Rembrandt's.
The second reason is that in this travel, my friend and I went to this city to see a Coldplay concert.
These are the reasons.

PS Rusell, are we going to have an exam this Saturday?

Most of the times i make a trip i do it with my family but also i enjoy it a lot their presence. But in order to answer the question you make i think the last city that i visited and i enjoy it a lot was chiapas and oaxaca in both cases i visited the capital of the state and its proximities. Chiapas because the beaty of the landscapes, the people light, culture. Oaxaca by its grastronomy.

I'll talk about a mexican city, Guanajuato. It's one of the most beautiful cities I've ever been, full of culture, miths, legends, nice buildings, interesting museums,etc. I like the colony style and people treatment, of course one thing that has to be mentioned(in all mexican cities) is that you can enjoy the delicious food and a nice beer.
Another important thing is that Guanajuato hosts the most important mexican's culture festival, the "Cervantino", in which participate more than 80 countries. If you haven't visited it yey, I strongley recommend you to do it.

Professor, I would like to put off my exposition till you come back. Is that possible

Well I have been travel just in Mèxico, to little towns from cities, by car, bus or plane, but I have an especial city for me, Oaxaca City it`s a lovely place to a romantic persons, with colonial architecture, tasty regional food, lots of moles, during July they have one of the most important cultural events called "The Guelagetza", Oaxaca has in his territory more etnical groups than in others states of the Mexican Republic almost 57, with different cultures, customes and tongues,The state of Oaxaca it`s divided on 8 regions, each region presents representative dances and songs in the Guelagetza. If you like museums, near by downtown its the Santo Domingo Cultural Center, in the zocalo you can hear tradicional songs played on Marimba at the same time you can enjoy dancing, or eating a delicious meal, or having a good conversation in a coffee store, near the city to a 30 minuts you can go and visit Monte Alban, Mitla and Tule Tree ( this tree its too old, has more than 2 thousand years and its huge!!) It`s this city too many places to enjoy and discover. Try it!

I have been in most of the principal cities, but neither like México city, i think this is the most beautiful city I have never seen, here I have found the most amazing site and the better discos, so only one think could look like my city and is the beach, but when you go to vacation and you have been in fun some days, always the best part is when you return at home and sleep in your own beth.
