What’s your hometown like?

I’m from a small city in the south of my country. It’s not very big, but it’s peaceful and the people are really friendly. There’s a nice mix of old and new—you can see modern shopping malls, but also traditional markets and temples. One thing I really like is the food—it’s cheap and super tasty. The weather is hot most of the year, so people tend to go out at night. It’s not a touristy place, but it has a lot of local charm.
