Experiences are important to us as it contribute much to our development. Unusual experiences are the most special ones, they are usually the ones that we engrave into our memories.
I'm going to talk about a most unusual experience. I chatted with a foreigner on the computer, I learnt a lot about foreign countries like UK and France and USA. USA is one of the most queer places that I have heard, I mean people are allowed to keep pets like tigers and all that. Also that in France, schools are closed on Wednesdays while they are open on Saturday morning. And in UK, there are skirts and dresses especially for men, they are called kilts. The kilts are mainly tartan in design, and looks hilarious.
I really wish to be able to travel to those mentioned countries, it would be fun and I can also widen my horizons in the meantime.
