Blog Post Nº7: A place to visit *--*

A country I like to visit? For me it is hard to choose just one, because one of my dreams is to travel everywhere and know many places and people, but if I had to choose it would be UK. The truth is that not know much about this country, but the first thing that comes to my mind are the red buses and the palace guards, so I would like to travel there someday. First I would go to visit some cities like Nottingham, Liverpool and London. In London I would go to the Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace and of course I would travel in the red double-decker buses. Also I like to walk on Abbey Road which is where they walked The Beatles. I would also like to know how veterinary medicine is there, which is the approach that give veterinary medicine and also I would like to live there for a while and learn more about their culture. I discovered that one of their typical food is fish and chips, which always usually eat here! For all these reasons I would like to travel to UK!
