My Definition of Journey

Each person life is a journey. For me the word journey means happiness. It means happiness because every time that I travel with my family we have a good time. Besides having a good time, when we travel we also learn about the culture of others. For me learning about the culture of others is very important because that is the way in which we learn about the historical events that have happened throughout our history. However, it also enriches us as human beings and gives us more knowledge.

One experience that I had was when I went to Russia. In Russia the culture is very different of us, including the language. Every time that I went to a restaurant I ordered the food by signals because most of the Russians doesn’t speak even English. This was the first thing that surprised me because all the places that I’ve been through the people speak Spanish or English. Even though, in that trip to Russia I learned a lot about their culture. Therefore, in my opinion, I was more a traveler than a tourist. I was more a traveler because in that trip I took field trips that took me around the city. The favorite field trip for me was the one that took me to the “Plaza Roja”  (Red Square) in Moscow. The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitai-gorod. Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow and all of Russia, because Moscow's major streets, which connect to Russia's major highways, originate from the square. Finally for me this trip is an unforgettable one.
