Describe a city you visited that you liked

“I’m gonna describe Singapore. It was my first solo trip to for abroad. I was really looking forward to because I had never been on my own aboard before. When I first went to Singapore, the most surprising thing was that it was a really organised and beautiful city and the people there are really friendly and it’s easy to get around] because the public transport was really convenient. I went there to try some food and meet some local people. And I went shopping as well because it’s a really safe city so you can go around at night. If have a chance I really want to go back to Singapore one day, not only because I had a really safe experience, but also because it’s a really safe and convenient city that people and tourists can easily walk and go shopping and try different types of food.”
