Summer Travel 2018 From Taiwan to thailand and cities of vietnam

Introduction

My 2018 summer was all about family, friends and travel. I am an international student at Washington State University so that I could not spend lots of time with my friends and family during the year. Summer time is very important to me, my friends and every member of my family. It is when we reunion and share the experiences. We always plan our trips six months before the summer started so we can spend time together effectively.

The three locations above are usually traveled in one trip because they are close to each other and all carry different cultural aspects.
