Thoughts on Vacations

I personally like traveling and going on vacations. It gives one a fresh view on the world and it opens the eye to a life in a different setting. They can also be enjoyable if you are spending time with your family, friends, or loved ones. It also provides an opportunity for learning about the day to day experiences and hardships that certain people have to go through. Some countries may be a top destination spot but it's residents may be extremely poor.


Places I want to go on vacation

I would like to go to several places in my lifetime. One place I would like to go to is Tehran, Iran. This is because the majority of my family is from here. The majority of my family also lives here, so I would be able to see them for the first time. I would also get to experience a true Iranian expirence, over one that has elements of other cultures in it.

Another place I would like to go is Beijing, China. This is because of the Great Wall of China. I would like to walk a certain distance of it, but for obvious reasons not the entire length. I would also like to experience how life is in China compares to the U.S. It would be interesting to experience life in a country that is very different compared to the U.S.

I would also like to go to Berlin, Germany. There are several things I want to do here. I would like to visit Brandenburg Gate. I would also like to visit the Berlin Wall. On top of that, I would like to visit the Charlottenburg Palace.


Places I have gone to for vacation

Last summer, I went to Key West, Florida. I was there for a week. I went to basically all of the Keys in that area and also went up to Miami. I enjoyed it but I would not visit it again. This is because I did everything I wanted to do, and do not desire to do anything else over there. I still would like to go to other places in Florida, though.

I have also been to Washington D.C. I was there for a week. I went around in Washington D.C and surrounding cities like Arlington and Alexandria. I would revisit this place. I would like to spend more time here. I believe I did everything I wanted to do, but there is a lot to do here and I would like to do more stuff in the area.

This was not a vacation technically, but I went to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and disliked it. Oklahoma City is incredibly boring and I would personally not revisit it. There was almost nothing interesting to do here and the city is very crowded. The best moment of this trip was going to this amusement park. It rained and everyone had to leave but the parking lot became crowded and we had to stay inside the gift shop. It cleared up and the park did not have a lot of people there so there was not a wait time for a while. But within an hour it was back to over full capacity.


Photoscape

I personally like Photoscape. It is fairly straight forward when you use it and is very user-friendly. There is one thing that I don't like about it, this issue is more of my school's fault over the actual software. The tutorials for help are blocked on my computer and I have to guess how to use something or ask for help compared to just seeing how to do it. It is just a tad bit inconvient, but it's the school's fault not the software.

Edited photo from Photoscape

I edited this photo of a bird in Photoscape. I fully sharpened it. I feel like it is a masterpiece and I could have not outdone myself. I rocked it out.


Another photo edited in Photoscape

I also edited this photo on Photoscape. I added a bunch of disorting filters to it. I feel like this is also a masterpiece and I probably could have sharpened it fully to make it perfect. I rocked it out.
