What can we do in the face of extreme weather

Many years ago, I visited many cities because of business. Besides business, I had a lot of time to walk around the city I visited. Most of the time, I enjoyed the scenery, food and other interesting things alone in these cities. I felt exicited ,but a little bit lonely sometimes. Then I left one city to go to another city. Nowadays, ,when I plan a trip with my children, It's really hard to decide on the destination. In that case, many great memories about the cities I visited many years ago come into my mind. I know where I should visit. My children and I have travelled to many places where I left a lot of footprints. After over ten years, though many buildings have changed a lot, most things were still familar. I became a tour guider and gave my children the best suggestions about scenery and food. The special experieces always recalled me of many sweet things and people I met many years ago. So, different people have different purposes of travelling. No matter, you travel alone or with family, just finish all the things on your must-do list, then gain a lot of amazing momories!
