Story telling contests series "I have pinned my dream destination" story#2 author Kamilė Galminaitė

One of the best ways to explore and learn about our world is to travel. Of course, you can learn a lot about any place through the internet, school or from people who have been there. But this kind of knowledge does not compare to being able to go there yourself, seeing everything through your own eyes, and gaining new experiences. That is why many people have dreams that are related to travelling to other countries or visiting places they have never been to.  I have one of these dreams too.

Throughout my life, I have dreamed of visiting several countries and locations but at the moment I have one country I genuinely hope to get to visit someday which is Japan. If I were able to go there, I would bring along some of my friends who also dream of going there. I would also prepare a list of places I want to visit when I arrive there. Most importantly, I would try my best to learn as much as possible about Japan's culture, language, history.

I know that most people have at least some reasons why they wish to visit a specific destination and so do I.  

Firstly, I am very fascinated by their culture, art, and language. I would love to learn Japanese myself so that I could communicate with local people and find out as much as I can about the country. 

Also, I would definitely bring my camera so that I could capture some of the stunning architecture and art. I believe that a part of the reason why I find their culture so interesting is that it is completely different from mine. Japan is an Asian country that is located far away from my European one so the differences between these are huge. By going there, I would have the chance to learn and experience life from a different perspective. 

Another reason why I would love to go there is kind of silly. I have always loved Asian food, especially Japanese dishes. Of course, I have had them in Asian food restaurants but I am sure the original dishes would taste even better.

To summarise, I think that going to Japan would be one of the most memorable and fun journeys of my life. If I went there, I would not only be able to visit some of the most beautiful and well-known spots but also I would gain a lot of knowledge and experience. That is why my dream destination is this country.
