THE COUNTRYSIDE THROUGH VISISTORS'S EYES
1. Read the posts on ‘Holidays in the Countryside’.
| There was so much space! We could run around the fields and shout out loud without disturbing anybody. Dennis from London |
| Swimming in the river, picking blackberries, collecting honey from beehives... I have never had a more interesting vacation. Julie from Paris |
| No running water. No electricity. And the only entertainment centre is miles away. Can't stay here any longer! Phirun from Phnom Penh |
| I love the vast open spaces, the fresh air and the feeling of freedom in the countryside. They are experiences I can never have in Seoul. Yumi from Seoul |
| I don't mind visiting those street markets where the locals sell their home-made products. However, city life is more exciting. Emi from Tokyo |
| Last week I went on a trip to the countryside and had my first experience of farm work: digging holes, planting vegetables and collecting tomatoes. Unforgettable! Lan from Ha Noi |
| Country life doesn't excite me at all. So boring and inconvenient. Bob from Hong Kong |
