This is such an interesting topic for me. If I need to choose a place where I want to relax, I will choose, ironically, my hometown. It is ironic because even though I originally come from there, I have rarely been there due to education and career purposes. My hometown has a breathtaking view along with fresh air since it's not affected by too much carbon emission like in urban areas. Whenever I have the chance to go back to my hometown, I like to walk through the rice fields and touch every plant, flower, and vegetable there. It is really calming for me. I also enjoy taking in the fresh air of nature, which I cannot have in city life since the air quality in the city is not that good. This place helps me relax so much because it diminishes the problems I have in city life. Going home can be an unwind for me from the overwhelming stress I experience in urban areas. I have so many problems in the city, such as school issues, work problems, and so on. But whenever I go home, I always feel so relaxed and calm. I don't know, but the atmosphere there is so relaxing.
