My Hometown Asuncion, Ocotlan de Morelos ,Oaxaca, Mexico is the small village where I grew up , and it is located in southern Mexico . In my neighborhood there were mountains and hills. There were the sounds of chicken and horses, and donkeys making noises. You could smell carne asada. My hometown made me feel happy because I could eat fresh food, but it was difficult to get a good job. It has been one year since I last visited my hometown. I think that my hometown has changed a lot. For example, there is more traffic. Now when I think about the place where I grew up, I feel sad because I remember my beautiful house.
Ensenada B.C. is medium size village where I live for five years, and it is located in the northwest part of Mexico. In my neighborhood there is a harbor and an ocean. You can hear the sounds of the ocean, sea lions, and cruise ships. You can smell fresh air, ocean breeze, and the sea food. My hometown makes me feel happy because my friends and many memories existed there. It has been five months since I last visited my beautiful city. I have noticed some changes for example, now there are new cinemas, beaches access, stores, streets and University campuses. In summary, when I think about my beautiful city, I feel happy because of the great memories that I had there, and sad because everything is different now.
