Spring vacation

I went to Singapore and Australia. during spring vacation. It was my first trip abroad. In Singapore, I visited marina area. It was held the Lunar New Year festival there, so it was very hot due to the jam. However the night view is very beautiful. The Merlion and Marina Bay Sands spread around lake are moved me. I want to stay at there and look out over the night view from the top of the hotel. In Australia, I visit Melbourne. Melbourne is city but there are a lot of green so I think that it is easy to live. When people mention Australia, its koala and kangaroo come to mind. Actually penguins are famous in Philip islands located in the south. The sight which a lot of wild penguins came back land is so cute. Both trips is very fun and become grate experiences to me but my trouble is my English was not understood. So I must be hard to study English...
