6. REFLECTION I chose these two places because I have always wanted to go to these places because of the diverse cultures and traditions. I have been to Tagaytay before but only as a child so that is why I want to return to that place. I love the culture and people that live there. I want to go to Dublin, Ireland because ever since as a kid I always thought Ireland was the most interesting country in Europe. Also, I have never been able to go to a European country yet so that would be my first choice to go to. I also like the accents the Irish have which makes me more interested to go to Dublin. In the end, I hope to go to these two places in the future.
