If you were given a chance to visit a place, which place would you choose? This question suddenly came to my mind last night, and I can answer it immediately : Hokkaido in Japan and Jane Austen's House Museum in England. Although it is a bit greedy to think of two places, but really, they both attract me and I would like to step on the soil of these two lands.

England is a country which has long and charming history. Historical buildings, roads, streets are full of the smell of past. Hokkaido is a place with paves with fields of seasonal flowers, lavender, sun flower......and snow as well!! In different season, people can enjoy different views and emotions, changing with the flowing of time, how beautiful it is!

Jane Austen is my favorite writer, her words have the magic to make readers addicted to their stories. There is a saying, "If you want to understand a story, walk in the story." I deeply believe in this. Jane Austen's House Museum is in Chawton in England where full of the breath of Jane, I badly want to walk in to this little house and experience the live of the characters in Pride and Prejudice , Emma, Sense and Sensibility......This is the place where they were "born"!

7年後的我︰

北海道未有機會去，但英國已經去了啦~~ 雖然不是Chawton，但Bath的Jane Austen Museum已經在上年Oxford Trip去了~~ 算是Checked吧！

上次叔叔問起我何時再去美國找他，一起去大峽谷。但其實我比較喜歡一大片草地或花田，但又不是完全的大自然, wild 那種，而是有少量人類活動，跟大自然有著很和諧的氣氛那種~~ 就是好像Bath的Parade Garden或是Oxford裡河流穿越校園那樣啊 (換句話說，我喜歡上次去英國看到的風景，哈哈)
