It was quite a famous park in town, sometimes it is crowded by tourists. Suddenly, a pack of girls I thought as some tourists approached my sister and they got excited and asked permission to take pictures with her. Feeling strange, but could not avoid them, she joined them and smiled her best for the photo shots. Then they thanked her and looked very happy.

I live in a small, nice modern house. I can say it is rather small because it is only as big as 90 square meter. It has two small bedrooms, a living room, a small kitchen and we share one bathroom. However, I like our house because it has big windows letting in enough sunlight in the day time and it is quite comfortable without air-conditioning. It is also a modern one because it is stylish with some modern touch of minimalist furniture in it.
