Polished transcript:

Male Female

There are a lot of places that I can think of, but the one that comes to mind first is Dalai City. I took a trip to Dalai City about 2 years ago with my classmates, and I remember that it happened right after I graduated from secondary school. We spent almost 3 days exploring many famous tourist destinations such as the Love Valley and Hoh Xung Hung Lake. Dalai is well known for its cuisine, such as the Bang Khan, as well as the flowers and the views there. We were really excited. I felt overwhelmed and really impressed by the stunning views. I took a lot of pictures. The reason I really like this place is that it is where my parents first met. They tell a whole lot of stories about it, even to the point where I can't imagine what it was like. Until I took a real trip there, I realized it was so different from the stories they had told me. The weather and the views there are much better.
