It might take a bit long for you but afterward, you are gonna enjoy the cool weather of a country surrounded by mountains and glaciers. Usually in Switzerland, you can start a business like my dad's friend Imanuel or you can enjoy building yourselves a house and feeding cattle. Bringing money here is important, though I don't know how much should you bring. Though what they say is to bring as much as possible. I've been to Switzerland though I never know what school the children should go to. And also you need to know German in case you need anything. Swiss people speak German and English, though I did hear some french. You don't have to worry much about your family because when you're in Switzerland the government takes all of that responsibility. And the chances to find Vietnamese food and people, well I don't want to disappoint you but the chances is like finding a jackpot in a 1000 spin. Well, you could instead enjoy some delicious Swiss melting cheese, and of course pizza.]]> 2021-12-09 01:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1937140886 Singapore alexnhatminh2009 https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1937156555 Still Singapore is a good choice for me. It's nearer than Switzerland and pretty much the same, except the problem it's almost raining all the time. At here I could go to college, make new friends, start a new life in a snap of a finger. I could even bike there.]]> 2021-12-09 01:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1937156555 Zürich, Switzerland (D.Minh) https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1937163297 Questions

If I had the choice to go somewhere, I would choose Switzerland. Of course, I will go by plane. From where I live to get there is a very long journey.  I will bring the most necessary things for my life. For example, money, clothing, and electronic devices can be carried.I'm going over there to study, so all I need to do is become an international student from Asia. My parents will probably continue the business to earn money to take care of the family. Switzerland has a highly developed economy and is one of the countries with the best quality of life in the world. Famous and leading in the field of Banking, Finance, and Tourism. Switzerland is a country that is very interested in education by the government. For international students, they will be studying in an advanced teaching environment. My family will have to bring an adequate amount of money to live there. I will learn English, which is a neutral language used in many countries, including Switzerland.We will find Vietnamese food when we are in Vietnamese neighborhoods. When traveling to another country, it does not mean that we will not find national traditions there.

I might get strange when I move there, but I’m gonna enjoy the hot in summer, snow with cold weather in the winter and also the delicious street food. Of course, I will bring my family with me when I get thereby plane. I will bring all of my property with me, except something that is not necessarily enough, for examples money, books, clothes, ... Well, I think if I experiment there, I can get the job more easily in the restaurant, I will have a well-paid job in there. The big trouble that I have to face is the language, when you go to Korean school, they will speak Korean and also teach more about Chinese or Japanese depends on you. I have an idea to go to school Yongsan international Seoul (YISS) - Yongsan-gu, Seoul. It’s a good chance for me so I really love to go there]]> 2021-12-09 01:51:11 UTC https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1937170145 Seoul, Hàn Quốc nguyenngocdiep2908 https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1937173848 Nguyen Ngoc Diep 

There were so many places that i would love to visit to , but at the end , Korea always be the place that I am looking for. Being know as the land of Kimchi, this place carried a lot of special restaurant with delicious meal, this made a lot impression on me . I usually tend to do everything alone, but I probaly still come with my parent, the one I am always love . Going to this peach bloosoms perhaps what I cannot do without memories, or things that bring me that hard feeling. My diary, some albums , my warm clothes for winter days,..it soon filled up my purple suitcase. In that magnificent city, there always  people I always love, always following them . They bring me happiness, they teach me how to love myself, they word harder and harder everyday . They are like a motivator for me everyday . I might me in seventh heaven when I heard that I can have a try to visit the place that I always dreamed to be there. Korea, where when I come here, I cannot only admire the beauty in each season, but also the place that brought me love and happiness.

But natural disasters have been hitting us for a long long time and there is bullying in my place so I have to leave my country to find a new better place for my family to stay safe, and also to find a new job for my career. In my point of view, Ho Chi Minh city meets my needs. I prepared all of the necessary things for my long trip such as medicines, clothes, phones, equipment,... I also brought some money for my family so we can buy some necessities during our long trip. In addition, I need to find a high-paying job to pay for the bills and also tuition. The difficulty in speaking another language is not a big challenge for me because I have learned Vietnamese for a long time so I can communicate with the natives. We have a big deal there because my uncle has lived in Ho Chi Minh City so we can stay at his house while waiting to find shelter. I have to learn the Vietnamese culture, in many ways, but I think making friends is the best way to learn new things. Nevertheless, having new friends won't make me forget about my old friends, we had a lot of memories together, I will miss them. According to the news, Vietnamese foods are really good that the travelers shouldn't miss out on so I cannot wait to taste them!]]> 2021-12-09 01:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1937174831 London, England phmyletran https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1937174958 Phương My 
For now, according to my way of thinking the best place to move is London, know as ‘the city of fog’. In the situation that my hometown has a natural disaster, I assume that the government will help me to move to another city and after that I can choose any transportation to move like airplane if I can afford to pay. When I get to London, of course I need some jobs to make a living, now I’m still a student so I can find job in some library or some cafeteria, ect. For every person, school is a most important thing, so from my standpoint I need to choose to study what I’m interested in and I can develop it in the best way. London is famous for music and I’m interested in music to I can easily find a school that’s suitable for me. The second important thing id I need to be used to the live there, luckily that I had study English before and I feel that I have enough confidence to make friends and be familiar with that place. But the worst thing that I’ll be homesick, that sounds terrible but I’ll try to fix it. So in general, when I need to move far from my own place, I will try as hard to live a good life.]]> 2021-12-09 01:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1937174958 Norway alexnhatminh2009 https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1937175783 If I want to get the Viking feelings, to sail around and feel like to conquer all, from Vietnam it will be the best way to Norway. This is a land full of history of the Vikings. I could go there by sailing through the sea. Thunder pounding, ice cold currents, what can you ask for more?]]> 2021-12-09 01:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1937175783 Tôkyô, Nhật Bản nguyenthihoangngan0084ch https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1937281243 If I have an opportunity, I would like to come back Tokyo for the majestic landscape. Despite of 8 hours took me from Ho Chi Minh city to there by plane, instead I could travel some popular locations in there. Maybe I just travelled for some days but I couldn't miss the unforgettable memories in there. I usually bring the neccesary things like iphone or something else ,...with me and until I came to Japan, I need to bring the warm clothes for the cold weather. I just came there to travel so I wasn't bringing too much money but enough to use. And if I have a chance to study abroad ,I also want to study in there so in the short future, I am going to study Japanese. Of course that I have no relative in here yet, instead that I can make friend with the others . I think Japan also in Asia so it quite easy to find Vietnamese food.]]> 2021-12-09 02:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1937281243 Beijing, Trung Quốc (Ân) duongthienan0465ch https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1938231780 I always hope to have the opportunity to visit China in the near future to study. It is well known for the best place to study abroad, as well as to visit many beautiful landscapes and historical sites. I decide Beijing wiil be my destination. When going to Beijing,  you need to prepare a Visa and you can get there by land or by plane.  To prepare for the trip I pack personal documents, clothes, personal tools and some money. Beside school and living fee, I may go shopping or participate in a fan meeting , so I will probably prepare about 5,000,000 VND more. I will go to Beijing university to attend Chinese course in one year. So I will learn Chinese and the teacher will teach in English. During my time studying, I am going to join clubs at school and make new friends because I don’t have any relative there. After school I spend time walking around my apartment to find Vietnamese food. I also want to try Chinese food with my new friends, too. We will have some days off, so we plan to have a picnic or biking to release stress. I am sure that I will miss my friends and family in Vietnam a lot, therefore I will video call to share my experience with them. I hope to have a wonderful time in China.

Korea is a country famous for its long-standing culture. It has many beautiful scenes that attract many tourists. Known as the land of kimchi, it is no wonder that it possesses a diverse and rich cuisine. I've always wanted to learn Korean, so coming here was the right choice. I want to be alone, start an independent life so I will come here alone. I need to bring some necessary things when coming here such as money, a passport, clothes, and many other things. One of the most important things when coming to and living in a foreign country is to have a steady source of income. Of course my parents will continue to work to help pay for my schooling, but I think I also have to work part-time to be able to live in a new place. In addition to the unique culture and cuisine, I also love K-pop music. That's also the biggest reason why I want to go to Korea. I want to go to fan meetings, fansigns, and concerts. My seven idols have taught me a lot. That I should love myself before I love someone else, that I just need to be myself. I love them so much. I don't have any relatives here, so I will try to make as many friends as possible. Although Korean food is delicious, I will probably miss Vietnamese food a lot, so I will find some Vietnamese restaurants to eat.]]> 2021-12-14 00:43:03 UTC https://padlet.com/marktuanhuunguyen/wx35j94qxirxjab0/wish/1945830485
