你好 Grace and thank you for sharing your experiences. It surely was quite an adventure. Also, I'm so happy to know people can really be that kind (talking about your friend, who invited you for Christmas). In my country and tradition, inviting someone to spend Christmas together is one of the most profound ways of showing respect and love to other human being. Thanks again, xie xie!

Laura人好溫暖！也想share一個自己的經歷，2019年聖誕節🎄那會在Lund University交換，然後因為從小都是過農曆新年，聖誕節也是和台灣差不多就是簡單的交換禮物或者糖果。雖然歐洲聖誕氛圍很濃厚，但是當時瑞典的室友們都提前2週回家去和家人一起過節，只剩我一個人留在宿舍那邊和他們逐一說Goodbye🤣 城市裡很多店都關門，就突然覺得好心酸。然後也是有一個2018年相識的來北京這邊我的大學交換的瑞典同學，知道我一個人然後邀請我去她家裡，和她爸爸媽媽妹妹一起過聖誕節，那也是我第一次在西方的家庭裡過聖誕！他們完全沒有嫌棄我磕磕巴巴的英文和3歲孩子水平的瑞典語🤣🤣 就覺得在幾千公里以外的異國他鄉感受到了家庭的溫情，然後一直到現在都還是很好的朋友～ Btw, Grace如果喜歡玩雪，歡迎有機會來我家鄉那邊，中國東北的黑龍江省，冬天時候就是銀妝素裹的冰雪世界！妳一定會喜歡😃😆

@Markus 对，我也觉得大峡谷实在好看，问题就是地点离别的有趣的地方有点远。黄石的优点是公园区域很大，所以观光的时间比较多。（我不是说大峡谷不好，如果可以去的话我一定推荐去吧。）

What are you most looking forward to doing now that you're back in Taiwan? Some places in the US to consider in the future: Sedona Arizona (and Grand Canyon), San Francisco California, Hawaii, Las Vegas Nevada, Los Angeles California. Florida is especially full of strange people, but the meow person was most likely trying to bother you, mentally ill, or, at best, was trying to flirt. It's sad that women are still harassed so often for no reason. I saw the 養樂多 that you shared in Canada! 😊

Meow Grace, or rather I'll say ni hao,, Your quite a jet setter, you saw nice places in America. Next time I'll sugest California. plenty of Asians over here, San Francisco's China town. is cantonese, and many places in Los Angles has a majority Asian popilatin El Centro, near Mexicali has many there also, an interesting tri cultural experiance.

Idk…it could have been 你好 or maybe he was acting creepy. It’s generally best to err on the side of caution in those situations. Sadly, I think everyone in America has had at least one of these crazy experiences with a stranger😂 Anyway, happy to hear you had an awesome time in the US and Canada overall!
@genace Жыл бұрын
Some ideas for next time: US - Yellowstone - I’ve heard it’s good! - California - you went to Florida which is humid and flat, while Cali is less humid and is very mountainous. Florida has better beaches but I think Cali has prettier scenery. There’s also a notable difference between Socal and Norcal (Socal is warmer and Norcal is cooler) so there’s a lot of variety. - Hawaii - It should be a shorter flight from Taiwan right? - Boston, Philadelphia or Washington DC - if you like American history Canada - Montreal and Quebec City - these are French-speaking areas of Canada so it’s a very unique experience in North America. - Niagara Falls - there’s a US side and a Canada side. It’s great to see both but definitely don’t skip the Canada side. - Toronto - big multicultural city ^Canada is really cold in the winter though lol
