1. Talk about your hometown

I was born in a quiet village where the influence of the city is not much.

It is a small village with a population of about two thousand people. It is a very good place for relaxation indeed. In my village, people live very close to each another. The people are very simple in thought and behavior. Therefore they are friendly and helpful . So, the crimes of the city are almost unknown in my village. The people work together and live in peace. I love them. My village is surrounded by paddy-fields and a river. All these add great beauty and variety to my village scene. Although I do not like growing rice, but I really like the fields. It makes me have a good mood, a peace mood and a relaxed mood. Now I am living in Hanoi capital. I want to come back my hometown very much. Living among such friendly and simple people, in such a quiet village, is indeed a real pleasure. 2. Talk about your dream town New York City: Generally I am starting to like this city more everyday, normally I always liked it. The only thing is, I wish it had the cityscape of Hong Kong with the sea of post modern buildings everywhere. The city is beautiful based off potential and history. The people are hospitable, and I feel like I'm at home when I'm there. People of all kinds of backgrounds, they should just label the city the capital of the world, everyone can call this city home. But just the biggest drawback for me is that my preference in architecture sets me more into waking up everyday and wanting to admire a sea of moder/post modern buildings in the skyline. Also the fact that I don't want to end up where most people dream of being- I like to be somewhere where I can feel like my preference in a city is a unique attribute to my needs, I kind of feel like a bandwagoner even talking about NYC for some reason, like it's name alone just brings up so much influence over the world. A bit too influential for me, I like to give other cities more of a chance a bit, if that makes any sense!

Interesting question! It is changing over time in my case. At first I was in love in America and I envisioned my life there. But I don't think it can provide me as much opportunities as I would love. At this point, I am looking more for possibilities that city can offer me than something else. And I am not talking about salaries or stability, I am thinking about opportunities to learn and improve myself. That's what I think should be our focus in twenties, to develop our potential so that we are fully satisfied once we decide to start a family and change our priorities. But, just to answer the question, if I have to choose, I would probably pick San Francisco. I've never been there, in USA in general, but I always find it very interesting. The whole West Coast seems magical to me, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and colorful Victorian houses. The city is also very youthful and open minded, perfect for life of twenty-something. And the most important part, it provides so much opportunities for work, especially in the area I am interested in, so it seems like a perfect choice!
