There are a lot of cool places to see if you come to Vancouver. One of my favorites is the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Have you heard of it? It's so much fun. It's a long, thin bridge in the middle of the forest. It's in North Vancouver. It's really high up, and you're standing above a river. When you stand on the bridge, it can be a bit scary. But there's a great view. Just don't drop your camera.

Hi, if you come to Tokyo, please come to Tokyo Skytree. It's a very tall tower in the middle of Tokyo. There's a place at the top of the tower that's really cool. You can see the whole city from there. I like to go to Skytree at night because the city lights are really beautiful. There are also lots of shops and things to do at the bottom of the tower. You can buy food, clothes, or souvenirs there. It's a really good place to visit.

I think the best place to visit in New York is Times Square. It is in the middle of the city and there are so many things to see there. There are theatres, famous buildings, great restaurants and shops. All kinds of stuff. It is really cool to stand below all the signs and lights. There are even people in funny costumes standing on the street. You can take a picture with them. It's also a good place because there aren't any cars on the street. It's pretty crowded, but everyone has a great time.

Places to visit in London? Well, a lot of tourists go to the London Eye. Do you know it? It's on the River Thames in the middle of the city. It's the biggest ferris wheel in Europe. When you ride it, you can see a lot of London. It's like you're flying above the city. It's a good place to visit because it's by a lot of other famous places like Big Ben. You know, the big clock. It's just in front of the train station, so it's easy to find.
