  I have a dear father who loves to travel around the world. Sometimes, I travel with him. Together, we have a  lot of fun and a lot of impressive memories.

    I still have many memories about our trips to many different countries. First of all, when I was a little girl about 11 years old, my father and I went to China. We stayed in China about 7 days and we visited many cities. Our first destination was Beijing, the capital of China. We went to Tian'an men Square. There were a lot of people walking on the street and most of them dressed very simple. We bought a Chinese stamp which  is made of  marble and there is a special mark on the bottom of the stamp which I cannot understand what it means. What's more, we tasted the Chinese roasting chestnuts which were so delicious that I could never forget  its flavor. Then, we went to the Great Wall. It was so long and we were all very tired when we arrived at the end of the Great Wall. Our next destination was Shanghai, one of the biggest cities in China. Also, the city was crowded and we could see many people at anywhere. After that, we went to Guilin and Chongqin. All in all, our trip to China was fantastic. After we finished our trip to China, we also went to Mongolia. We stayed there about 2 days and we got a leather wallet, a ruler and a blanket as souvenirs. Personally, I love China better than Mongolia. 

  The second trip which left a deep impression in my mind is our trip to Africa. We went to Kenya. As we all know, people live in Africa is poor who cannot even afford the food. We went to the capital of Kenya and people live in such big city is better off. We visited many places of interest and we bought a sculpture of a African woman, a carving of a woman's head. All of them made with exquisite workmanship.

   Last but not least, our trip to Singapore is also fantastic. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. Singapore is extremely beautiful and I do not even want to go back.We bought a collection of coins. I love it so much.

   Today, when I stay in bed, I always look around my bedroom. There are so many souvenirs from many different countries. Except some souvenirs that I mentioned before, I also have other amazing souvenirs. A small pot from an island named Gozo. A carving of a man from Peru. A model of canoe from my own country-America. 

    This time, daddy has been to Spain and he says he will come back 4 days later. During his phone call, he told me he will bring me a model of the Spanish farm. I was so excited when I heard that. I am so glad that I have such a nice daddy.
