Hi, I'm new to this place.

I've been to several countries myself and
I was curious to know what shocked you the most when you went to different countries.

Speaking of myself, when I went to Indonesia, I saw 2 children riding a bike with no helmets. There is no doubt I was worried about the kids' safety, but you won't believe how good they are at driving.

I don't know much about their law system, but I assume it's illegal. Am I right?
But the thing is, motorbike is really common in Indonesia. It was interesting to know.

Well, this kind of thing Surprised
I wanna hear from many of you. Bye-Bye.

Shanghai was the first city in the first foreign country I had ever visited. I was shocked at the poverty that seemed to accumulate at the feet of the magnificient skyscrapers that decorate the sky with colored lights at night. Quite tragic irony, if you ask me.
