But, I will try. First of all, culture itself excites me. Learning about all the differences and similarities of the world&amp;rsquo;s culture, somehow complete me.&amp;nbsp;I have heard that Tokyo has many interesting museums, galleries&amp;rsquo;, temples, and most importantly the Tokyo Tower.&amp;nbsp;I find the ancient vs. futuristic sceneries really interesting. A city that has so much diversity mixed together is a city I would like to travel to. I can just picture myself walking through a futuristic city, much like Manhattan, and admiring all the lights, skyscrapers, and amazing technology. Then I can see myself walking through temples, and feeling all that ancient energy. All the contrast from just one city, how much better can it get? A lot better, because with culture comes cuisine. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%&quot;&gt;Japanese cuisine is nothing but delicious dishes. The most famous of them all is probably Sushi. What better place to eat sushi, then Japan. I would try all different types foods. Just because something doesn&amp;rsquo;t seem appetizing doesn&amp;rsquo;t mean it isn&amp;rsquo;t. You know what they say &amp;ldquo;You can&amp;rsquo;t judge a book by its cover.&amp;rdquo; I am open to all types of foods, and maybe some foods will not taste as good as others, but at least I can say I tried. So, a chance to travel to Japan, and witness for myself Japans culture would be amazing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%&quot;&gt;The next part of the trip that I find amazing is the traveling part. Just the thought of traveling makes me smile. No matter what the distance is I love to travel. The excitement of it all comes from past experiences. The times that I have been able to travel have all been wonderful. Each experience is always better than the last. For example, I traveled to South Africa one time, and it was by far the most amazing travel experience I have ever known. Even though the past travel experience had also been amazing. Traveling to a great country like Japan, would just allow me to continue cultivating my love for culture, and it would add on to my amazing travel experiences&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
