Towns and cities:
1. Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Taipei_ a capital city of Taiwan. My city is very cosmopolitan. We have people from all over the world living here so that it’s reflected in the cuisine. You can eat lots of different types of food.
2. Do you still live here?
Unfortunately, I haven’t lived there for several years. My family went to Hanoi because of my father’s work and then we have settled here and made it my hometown. I still go back to Taiwan whenever I have holiday.
3. What’s the most famous place in your hometown?
Well, there’s a wide range of famous places in Taipei but I guess “ 101 Building “ is the most famous. It’s the second highest building in the world and it has always been the proudness of every Taiwanese people.
4. How has your hometown changed in recent years?
I hardly even recognise it because it has changed so much. It was built a lot of overpasses, also, lots of high buildings.
5. Where do you live now?
Presently, I live in Hanoi now. I’m happy with my life in here, simply because, the city is really on the move. There’s lots of excitement here. One more special thing about Hanoi that I like is it has a lively nightlife.
6. What part of the city do you like best?
I guess the food is the biggest attraction in Hanoi. There’s a wide range of specialities that you can not find in another countries. Also, the cost of living in my city is very reasonable.
7. Is there anything you don’t like about this city?
To be honest, the weather of Hanoi is the one thing that I don’t like especially the humidity. It always gets on my nerves. As far as I known, the humid weather makes people easy to get sick and it’s not good for the older’s health.
8. Do you want to live in a big city or a small town?
Well, I think I prefer to live in a small town. This is because I’m tired of all the traffic. And I want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I enjoy living in the place that is idyllic and the pace of life is slow.
Yeah.
