Well, I'd like to describe a place I recently visited. I went to Mari, which is on top of the mountains and located in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan. I had a trip with my sister, my mother, and my family. Before visiting, I expected to try some different cuisines, but when I went there and had a meal, it was a bad experience for me because the meal wasn't delicious and the aroma wasn't good. I didn't have time to try other cuisines. Unfortunately, I expected a variety of foods, but I didn't have time at that moment. The food disappointed me because it wasn't my type of food. After that, we came back, and the bill was around 16,000. At that moment, I didn't enjoy it. It was such a challenging experience for me and my family.
