  1. In order for you to have a safe and enjoyable visit in china, here is what you need to know. First,you should make a good plan of where you want to visit before you leave,because china has 56 different ethnicities and many places are very dissimilar to each other.Second, if you are willing to visit in the cities(especially in those mega cities),you must get a metro card (a card for bus,subway and cab in the local) for travel convenience.Third, you could rent a car for tour in the small towns and natural areas( most of thoes places have extremey beautiful views)and bring some cash in case those area don't use post machine. Lastly, you don't have to pay tip in most places in china ,but you could offer them (even in the biggest city hongkong, china, the hourly rate for most service jobs only start at 4 dollar per hour).In addition, you dont have to worry about safty problem in most area in china, but you supposed to watch out for thieves in some torist places where has too many people.Hope my information are useful to you!

  2. If you want to have a wonderful trip in my country you need to decide first what type of places you want to see. in other words, do you want to see religious cities like Al madinah or Macca, or you want to see a places that rich with history, architecture, and culture blend together. If you want to see this kind of places, there are amazing places you have to visit in Saudi Arabia. First must be Madain Saleh. it is the other-worldly scenery, breath taking nature, and rich history make it a destination worth exploring for many days. Madan Saleh is not only the tombs of the ancient Nabatean people, but bit offers much more for the tourist to explore. second place have to be the colorful city of Najran on the Yemeni border offers an unforgettable experience for travelers.

  3. Hi Holly, how are you doing today? I heard your husband said that you have decided to come visit in Vietnam. If you need to have a safe and enjoyable visit in Vietnam, I have some information that you OUGHT TO know. First of all, Vietnam is the country with much vehicles, they are mainly motorbikes, and the road is so narrow. Therefore, people spend hours in gridlock, traffic is so horrible that it simply doesn't move. If you want to go to see some places of Vietnam, please go after the rush hour in order that you CANNOT get caught in the rush hour traffic. Because it is very dangerous and sometimes it MIGHT cause accident traffic. Secondly, when you go outside lately by yourself, MAYBE thief will steal some valuable things that you bring. Thus, if you go outside lately in my country, please bring some things that MAY protect you from thief, such as pepper spray, scissor, etc. And how about the joyfulness when you come to Vietnam? Firstly, there are lots of delicious food you MUST try, such as "Pho", "Banh xeo" and so on. Secondly, when you come to Vietnam, you HAVE GOT TO go to Da Nang, because Da Nang has been described as a modern city that Vietnamese people want to live there the most. Last but not least, you HAD BETTER also try wearing Ao dai, because it is the traditional dress in Vietnam. And Michelle Obama used to wear it when she arrived in Vietnam with her husband - Barack Obama. There are some advice for you when you visit in Vietnam, I hope you will have much memorable events when you visit in my country.

    1. Wonderful advice and terrific modals! I'm a little worried about having to carry pepper spray and a scissor, however.

      One verb question: Michelle Obama used to wear an Ao dai (past habit) or she WORE it when she came to Vietnam (once)?

  7. Hi Holly, I'm so glad that you've decided to come visit my country. In order for you to have a safe and enjoyable visit in China, here is what you need to know. First, China is a big country, meanwhile, it has hundreds of millions of people. That means there are lots of traffic jams on the ground . Therefore, if you want a efficient vacation, you should prepare to travel by subway. Second, because the prices of each hotel are different, a good choice. By the way, you might book the room online to get some discount. Third, do you know Chinese food? That is very famous worldwide, so I suggest you must try it. However, considering cost performance, I prefer to a chophouse rather than a restaurant. Lastly, you must prepare some cash or a debit cards with you, because it is very rare to use credit cards in China. .Hope these information are useful to you and have a good vacation.

  12. Holly, I'm so thrilled that you've decided to come visit my country. In order for you to have a safe and enjoyable visit in Kosovo, here is what you need to know. First, you should know that there is no direct flight to Kosovo, which means that you will need to fly to neighboring countries first then to Kosovo. It usually takes two days from Texas to Kosovo so wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as you will be spending time in airports and sometimes you can get cold. Second, you should bring your medication with you. Especially your vitamins and your antibiotics. The food and climate here is different and most people get little sick or mild food poisoning here. Third, you must bring warm clothes because it gets cold here no matter the season. Lastly, you should buy a pocket dictionary so that when you need to speak to people you can use it.
