▶ Your Answer :
These days, the number of tourists has increased
worldwide, and more and more people like to visit new places. When visiting a new
place, I think that visiting a popular shopping area is a good idea since it is
the best way to learn about the area.
First of all, visiting a famous shopping spot
gives an opportunity to meet people who live in the area, which is the fastest way
to learn about the places. If I go to a museum or popular attractions, I barely
can see people who live in the area. In contrast, when I go to a popular shopping
area, people who live near the area would also visit there to shopping. I have a
related personal experience. Last year, I traveled to Tokyo for three days. I wanted
to meet Japanese and talk with them because I was very interested
in Japan and wanted to know more about Japan. In the first and the second
day, I visited the history museum in Tokyo, and I went to Tokyo Tower. I was disappointed
because there were only tourists in those places. In my last day, I visited a local
department store, and there were many Japanese. Thus, I could get a great chance
to meet local people, which is meaningful.
Second, fashion reflects cultures of the place,
so that paying attention to the fashion trend is a good way to understand the cities
or countries. Clothes show many things about the countries or cities such as temperature,
beauty standard, traditional belief, and so on. For example, many people in China
like red and gold color clothes. On the other hand, most Korean prefer modern and
neat clothes. It reflects cultural differences and is related
to history.
To sum up, I think visiting a popular shopping
place is the best way to learn about the place among
three things. This is because a famous shopping area is a place to meet local people
and get to know about them and their city. Also, looking for clothes give a great
understanding of cultures and history.
