Something I Love (example paragraph)

    One of my favorite ways of spending my free time is to travel somewhere abroad, because it opens my eyes to new experiences.  First of all, in foreign countries I can see architecture that I don't normally see.  I enjoy looking at beautiful buildings, and in my opinion, older styles are often more beautiful.  Europe is a great place to visit to see wonderful old towns, such as Dubrovnic, in nearly original condition.  Another attraction of travel is that I can enjoy delicious food that I can't get in Japan.  Even though Thai food, for example, is available in Osaka, it is usually very mild and not like real Thai food.  Finally, travel abroad allows me to experience culures and customs that are different to mine.  It is interesting to live in a different way, even though only for a short time.  For example, when shopping in a crowded, outdoor market in south-east Asia, the prices of goods are not fixed, so I can bargain with sellers until I find a price that I'm satisfied with.  In other words, travel opens doors to different, exciting worlds.
