Tourism disadvantages

Nowadays tourism becomes one of the most important fields in the industry. Besides all the good things about tourism, there are still some disadvantages that travelers might get.
 First of all, tourism now is so developed, along with that is the increasing number of tourist organizations or center. It's really hard for travelers to decide to choose the right organization, because some of them are just built to get money from the travelers and they don't care much about how the services for their customers.
 Secondly is some people they like to travel all by their selves and they don't really have the experiences to do that, it causes a lot of risks. For example you can get lost or even more dangerous like you are traveling some of the dangerous areas such as wild forest or areas that have wild animals.
 There are 2 things that I think is that disadvantages of tourism.

Journal #4

I've been to some different places in California, and two of them that I really enjoy are Yosemite and San Francisco.
Yosemite is so beautiful. It's the most beautiful place I've ever been to in the U.S. There are a lot of streams, and river, and all nature is around me. I felt really peaceful when I was there. I could even hear the voice of the bird singing, smell the trees and leaves, feel the fresh air and the dews on my face. Everything is just so fresh and pure in Yosemite. The people here are really warm and friendly, they always smiled at me when I looked at them and when I asked them something.
San Francisco is different. It's a really crowded city, with a lot of busy people. I love San Francisco because it's full of animation, I felt very active when I was there. The light's still on until 1 or 2 in the morning, I can feel the people working very hard, I can feel the life there. Everything is just moving all the time, and it makes me feel like I want to catch up with the life style of the economic life. People here don't really care that much about others but everybody has their own stuffs to deal with so it's not the big deal for people here. I think if I live here I will get used to it and I will have a very busy life doing the job that I like.
There are the two city in the U.S. that I enjoy very much. They are different, they don't even have any thing similar but I still like both of them because of their own.

Free writing . . . cool ! Journal #3 !









F A M I L Y = Father And Mother I Love You !!!

I'm going to write about my family back home, the most important thing of my life. I have a small happy family, and I love it. My mom and my dad are in the same age of 44, my little sister is just 13.
My mom is an accountant. Her job is busy but she still spends a lot of times to help me and my sister with our daily problems or with our homework. She's very smart, I don't know if it's because she's my mom so I think so or not but she is really smart seriously. Her friends always find her when they have a problem to solve. She always give good advices. She is really understanding and she helps me a lot with my crazy teenager problems. She's also hilarious, my friends said that when they heard my mom talking, they feel so close and she's not like 44-year-old lady at all.

My dad is a quality advisor. He's busy all the time. He has to go for a business trip a lot and just be at home about 10 days a month, that sucks because I love my dad and I want to spend time with him. When I was still at home, I got mad at him sometimes because his schedules are too busy so that I couldn't have that much time with him like I wanted to. But then I understand that he works so hard for us, for the people that I love so I love him even more. Because I don't have any brother so I'm my dad's buddy when we spend time with the family. Back home we don't have drinking age so I sometimes drink beer with my dad and we talk like real man's talk, it's really cool that me and my dad can spend time to understand each other better.

The last member that I want to talk about is my little cutie sister. I love her. It's very interesting that she looks a lot like me if I don't want to say that she's exactly like me.She's the cutest girl I've ever met in the whole wide world. She eats, plays computer games and watches Disney channel almost all her time. But it doesn't mean she's not good at school works. Whatever happens, she always do her homework before everything else. Everybody loves her because she's so lovable and full of lives. She laughs a lot and she always makes me feel better when I have to deal with life's craziness. My mom told me that she cried at night for the whole week when I first came to the US, it was so sweet of her. She's my little miss sunshine.
That's pretty much everything about my little cozy family. My family is perfect for me just the way it is and I love it. Life changes always but one thing I know that will never change is the love and support from my family by excepting me the way that I am.
