That's Interesting!

Write a short piece for the category "That's Interesting." Choose an interesting person or event in your life to write about. Please do not write about the place you visited and wrote about in last week's travel journal! Also, avoid writing about any cultural event that you wrote about in a previous assignment for this course.

Travel Journal

Write a short article (300 to 500 words) about a place that you have visited as a traveller. As we read in Martin Li’s article, “Remember that most places you write about will already have been written about before. Your challenge is to find something new and original to say.”
