North rocks park has a special meaning for me because I have enjoyed playing there since I was two years old. I have never stopped admiring the park as two days ago, I had a playdate there and I still love it.
When I was in Kindergarten , I was friends with franklin and Andrew. They both really liked North Rocks park so we played there a bunch of times. Now that Andrew has gone to a different school, Franklin and I cherish that memory.
When I was in year two, my friend Ethan and I played there for a long time and he taught me how to do the back flip. I showed my brand new skill of to my friends and they were amazed and that is how I made friends with Jordan.
When I was in year 3, My class had a playdate there and that is where I made friends with Jonathan who left this year.
North rocks park has not changed a bit since I was 2 so It still brings back nostalgic memories of Andrew and Jonathan.
The smell of the play equipment and the feel of the slide still makes me nostalgic because I still see them laughing next to me when I go down the slide or climb the rope tower.
This is why North Rocks park is special to me.

Tokyo, Japan, my special place. Tokyo was my first trip to Japan, and it was incredible, the sights, the food, the culture, everything about it was unbelievable and out of the world. The streets filled with shops and attractions, one shop after the other. You could go into one shop and say, “I’m not buying anything else!” Then walk a few steps and spend more money. The shops are sucking everyone in, either children or adults, they all want to go to the shops or restaurants. When I went to Tokyo, I obviously bought so many things. But Tokyo isn’t great because of their shops; their culture is so beautiful and wonderful to learn. To say hello in Japanese is ‘Konichiwa!’ and to say excuse me or sorry is ‘Sumimasen!’ To say thank you is ‘ArigatÅ!’ These words are vital if you want to go to Japan, as these are the most used words in Japan. In Japan rubbish bins along the streets are uncommon. When you hear this you might feel Japan is dirty and full of rubbish. But Japan is actually very clean! If you are going to Japan, I recommend you bring plastic bags so you can put your rubbish in there. Japan is also full with technology, and if you ride a bike, there are parking places underground where there is a machine that takes your bike and puts it in place for your bike. Disneyland/DisneySea, Mount Fuji, Harry Potter Land and Shibuya Sky are all places I recommend you stop by. Mount Fuji is breathtaking when weather is in good conditions and Disneyland/DisneySea is a delightful and joyful place. Sometimes in DisneySea, there is a boat which you can go on at night and it a magical and ethereal view. Harry Potter Land is for Harry Potter fans and you can get wands, robes and hats. There are many merch and attractions. You can even ride a broom which is a once in a lifetime experience. It felt so good, my smile beamed like a light bulb. The hotel I went in was very luxurious and I felt so grand like a queen. The toilets were very advanced and their robots could deliver food to us. The airline I went on was ANA airline and they were also very nice and helpful. They could always give out snacks and they were so kind. Food was delicious and drinks were perfect. The screen was large so my movie time was a good experience. They had pillows and blankets for comfort and sleeping in an overnight plane. Japan makes me feel belonged, joyful, safe and happy! One last thing about Japan is that it was the first place I went overseas and met my friends. When I was having dinner on my fist day in Japan, it turned out to be a surprise dinner with my friends. I was so shocked and surprised that I clenched my friend in a tight hug. Japan is my special place.

My old apartment in Northmead has a special meaning to me because I grew up there when I was three and moved there when I was halfway through Kindergarten. Since moving, I have never stopped thinking about it and missed it.
I sometimes played with my neighbour’s little sister while my brother played soccer with our other two neighbours.
When I was in Kindergarten, I had a best friend, and her name was Sanvika. She had been my first friend since Kindy, but unfortunately, she had moved and gone to a new school. Sometimes, I wonder if she still remembers me. One time in Kindy, it was sports and my class, and I went to the year 6 area to play frisbee with them. Sanvika and I got paired up with two other girls in year 6, and one of them had the same name as me, Adrita. I was young to notice that it wasn’t a big deal, but I made it a big deal. When I heard she had the same name as me, my eyes widened with joy, and I looked at Sanvika, and she was giggling like crazy. I started teasing her, and I giggled a lot, too. To this day, I still miss her a lot!
When I was in year 2, still in the same school, I had another best friend, Elsa. We loved to play tag, run around, or walk around and chat. We used to hate each other earlier in year 2, but we stopped and became best friends.
After all our fun in Year 2, I had to move schools. When I found out, I was sad. I told my friends about it, and they were unhappy, too. I didn’t want to leave my friends, but I had to.
Since then, I have missed my friends, but I’m happy with my new friends, house, and school.
This is why my old apartment in Northmead is unique.

Sydney is the place I choose to tell you because I am not living there anymore, and we moved to Perth instead and I have lived in Sydney for 4 years. In Sydney there was the opera house I could feel the hard cement and smell the delicious food that made my mouth started watering into pieces. Then I could hear the music it trying to make me dance and I could touch the cold summery breeze from my till my tippee toes and this gave me the expiration of the Sydney life when I first I came there and I absolutely adored it. if you were me and you are from Pakistan then you must try this food called chicken65 Biryani because it may like it if you are spice lover and it is in auburn. I had a lot memories but my favorite one is my school with all my friends there and the school was Carlingford public school. and it has became less sunny over there because there was thunder storms and the lights went out over there to so that is the end of my writing.

Sydney there I could feel the hard cement under my shoes, and I could smell the delicious food coming from the restaurants its Sydney opera house and I could feel the breeze through my whole body, and I could hear the music and trying to make me dance. one my memories there were my friends at school and if you are a spice lover then you should definitely try chicken 65 Biryani and I absolutely adored it and I can’t wait to come back and go back to my old school and ace that selective test and you can also go to place called darling harbor because there is a lot of cool activities to do there.
