Ever since I wish to ride on the plane and go to countries I really want to visit like HongKong, Taiwan, Canada, USA and Europe. And when I'm going to ride on the plane I'll make sure to pick seat next to the window to see the beauty outside. Have you been in other country? Do you have any unforgettable experience and how was your first arrival?

When I arrived in Sydney the immigration officer said 'Welcome to Australia'. I was a working holiday visa over there so I opened a bank account. I booked an appointment to open my bank account. The banking officer had brought along for me some Australian travel brochures. He told me where he thought I would like to visit in beautiful Australia. I found Australian people were really friendly and helpful to me.
I have visited fifty different countries in the world so far in my lifetime.

So far, I've been visiting only three countries, UK, France and Sigapore all in one whirlwind visit. When i was in Singapore, I forgot to switch my language to English when I went to boarding gate because the people looks like Indonesian, my home country . In UK, I spent my first day to figure out how to keep myself warm since the weather is very different, it's autumn and even in winter my country never been as cold as that. In France, I quickly buy the map in the station and mesmerized by the beauty of the country, buildings, culture, and everything seems sooo romantic. A perfect place for couples..

Hi! When I was in highscool, we went on vacation to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. My father is allowed to bring his family on vacation where he works there in the Government Hospital. I remember my first ride on the plane. It was a very unforgettable experience. We arrive there night time, and their country is very different here in the Philippines. The culture is different since it is a Muslim Country. I wear "Abaya", it is a robe-like black dress worn on top of regular clothing. Women are required to cover themselves completely by wearing Abaya even if you are a tourist. My favorite food there is broasted chicken and shawarma.
It was a privilege that my brother and I were given the chance to have vacation there it was a great experience.

Man I wish I had, it is one of my dreams and goals to complete. Of course I am really nervous about traveling and not knowing the language or the location for anything but that is not going to stop me because I think that will be part of the fun. If you ever travel to the south part of the US just let me know, if I am still around I will try and help ya get around. I think that would be pretty neat as well. You seem to have an advantage over me you at least have basic English down, me on the other hand I don't know any other languages well enough to speak them and only two well enough to maybe be able to decipher what someone is saying.

Hi! yes, I have been to three foreign countries- Vietnam, Germany and Holland. in Vietnam I was 16 yeasr ago, when I was 7 and didn't remember my first day. In Germany my first day went very good, because I was there on a brigade and I met several Bulgarians and we talked a lot the whole night long, they shown me the house, the rooms and everything! in holland I was on a vacation with the same Bulgarian, with whom I was living in Germany. The first day went very fast, until we searched for a free parking place, because In Amsterdam it is very hard to find where to park your car! on the night we took a walk on the red-lights street

I only been to Ensenada, Mexico in 2000.My family and I didn't stay too long we were only there for about one or two hours then had to get back to the carnival cruis ship. It wasn't bad I had fun. We went to this grocery store and they sold these baby turtles, i wanted one but i couldn't take it to the ship, they treat you like going through customes or the airport

my first travel was traumatic. we were delayed because something came up. however, thank goodness and it was all cleared. that was the first time to ride a plane so i was a bit nervous. when i arrived to my destination, i kept on exploring the places in the country. i enjoyed every minute of my stay in that country.

I have travelled to Europe as the first trip in other countries. At very beginning, I like the seat next to the windows, but now what I love is next to the aisle. Germany is very interesting and people I met there is so nice. Time difference maybe sometimes make me feel not so good, but it's just in the first night. The shops are always closed earlier than Asian countries which makes me uncomformable, but you could find other things really fun.

with the money you make online, you can easily afford a three-day holiday to hongkong, complete with the perks and a little shopping money on the side. then, you'll have a first-hand experience on what day one is in a foreign country. for me, the first time i traveled to another country, i arrived there one spring afternoon. i am lucky because i was met at the airport, complete with a service vehicle. on the way to where i will be staying, i was very quiet, simple looking out of the window, trying to figure out everything i see -- totally new to my eyes and strange because i don't see any english sign, all in the local dialect, which at the time, i have no way of figuring out. the most memorable of that first day is when we had dinner. naturally, we were serve local food. to my utter dismay, i simply cannot make myself eat any of the more than 20 plates, of varying sizes and containing different concoctions, which is supposed to be our dinner. even the chopsticks, it's made of stainless and everything i attempted to pick up simply slipped. i just nibbled at the meat concoctions and pushed steamed rice down my stomach with hot soup, which is quite familiar in smell and taste. but frankly, i was still hungry when we left the dinner table. reaching back our hotel, i gobbled up two skyflakes, biscuits i brought from the philippines, and washed it down with mineral water. that made my first, awful day in a foreign country.
