So if we talk about a journey or travel, I really remember one time when I was looking forward to traveling to a mountain with my friends. I live in Kazakhstan, which is in the center of Asia, and it's near Kyrgyzstan, China, and Russia. I live in Almaty, which is like the second capital of Kazakhstan, and Almaty is truly surrounded by mountains. We were thinking about a journey to the mountains, spending two days there. We were looking forward to a really good mountain with a high peak, and we planned to go to the peak and take photos. When we imagined it, the weather was warm and sunny. However, when we left our house to meet near the mountain, we saw that it was really rainy outside. It was disappointing, and our feelings were quite embarrassing. I told my friends that I was feeling down, and we ended up going home. I really didn't like that time because we had been thinking about this for a while, we had planned everything, and then it was all just delayed.
