DREAM CITIES

Leo loves travelling and he has always dreamed of visiting unusual cities. He has already been to Paris and Rome, but he has never visited Istanbul. Last year, he went to Venice with two friends. They stayed there for four days and took hundreds of photos. One evening, while they were walking near the canal, they saw a street musician and stopped to listen. Leo says it was one of the best moments of the trip.

This month, he has watched several videos about Tokyo, and now he wants to go there too. He has heard that the city is busy, modern, and full of surprises. He has never travelled to Asia, so the trip feels exciting. He is saving money now because he wants to visit one dream city every year.
