“Wow! Brisbane has a lot of similarities to my city!” This is my first impression about Brisbane.
Although Chiang Mai, Thailand and Brisbane Australia differ in culture and their history, they also have a lot of similarities too. These two cities are common in some ways:
1. There is a river that runs across the city and the big buildings on the riverside.
2. Victoria Bridge is similar to the bridge that leads to the road in front of my school.
3. The Botanic Garden at the foot of Mt. Coot-Tha is similar to the two Botanic Gardens at the foot of Mt. Suthep in Chiang Mai.
From my point of view after my research, Brisbane River that runs across the city, parks and green areas on the riverside looks clean. This amuses me a lot. The historical and modern buildings that are set together look amazing too. I think Brisbane is a comfortable place to live. There are lots of interesting features e.g. tourist attractions, universities, parks, resorts, modern technology etc. which made Brisbane popular and an ideal place to live. How I wish I could visit Brisbane in the future.
