Tourists never come here.

problems, but there are also
many good things about it.

I'm 36 now but I don't
really like 36-year-olds! Once
people become 30 they think

say that modern music is too
noisy! Almost all my friends
here are under 17. I love
their language and their
music. They give me ideas

Sometimes I go for a run
along the river. There are
flowers and animals and
even some cows there, so
it's like being in the country.
