Bo / Philippines 
Hi. My name is Bo. And I'm from the Philippines. And I'll be answering the question, what is a city you visited not long ago?
The last city I visited was Shanghai in China. I've been to Shanghai twice already, and it always fascinates me. The city is very advanced when you talk about their infrastructures and their transportation system. Plus it's very tourist-friendly. You can also go to Shanghai Disneyland if you are into theme parks. One of the things I look forward to when I go to Shanghai is the maglev train ride from the airport to the city. Maglev stands for magnetic levitation. So the train is floating and it travels at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour or more, which would only take you about five minutes to get to the city. If you ever need a destination for your next trip, put Shanghai on the list.
