EVALUATION OF THIS ASSIGNMENT

First of all, I feel grateful to learn this subject because I can explore and add my knowledge about country worldwide.  I learn their culture and tradition.  

Although this is my first time involving in blogging but I feel satisfied when I could complete this task and finally done creating my own blog which are not really interesting compare with others. 

From this assignment I learn that tourism is a travel for recreational, leisure, or business purposes usually of a limited duration. Tourism is commonly associated with trans-national travel but may also refer to travel to another location within the same country.

I’m hoping that someday I could travel all over the world and feel the excitement by myself.

Lastly _, thanks Miss Yana for this assignment.. Lots of love :D
