There are many interesting things around the world. Here is something fun to visit.
 | The Piano House This House in Huainan City of An Hui Province looks like a large piano, with a glass violin in the middle. Some university students in Hefei built it and hoped to bring the city plenty of tourists. It works! Now it has become one of the favorites of tourists in China. If you are a music lover, don’t miss it. |
 | Singing Roads In Japan, some roads can play music as cars travel over them. Grooves are carefully cut into the road. The spaces between the grooves make different music as cars touch therm. The closer the grooves are, the louder the music will be. Drivers can hear the beautiful songs best when driving at 50 kilometers an hour. And all say they can make them keep wide-awake when they feel tired. |

| Hi Sam, We’re having a great time in New York. There’s so much to do. We arrived on Friday and went up the Empire State Building.
