Miami, Florida, U.S.

At the end of the summer break, Joy and I went to Miami because we were going to see Taylor Swift’s Reputation Tour on August 18th.

I guess it was something special to start my senior year. Actually I had never been to a concert, and I was excited to see Taylor because I really like her songs.

In the morning of 18th, we went to walk around in the downtown Miami. The streets here were totally different from the streets in other places. There were palm trees on the sidewalk. I really enjoyed the tropical climate with hot weather and crystal blue sky.

There were not many people on the streets since it was in the morning. We walked around aimlessly and we got to Brickell City Centre. It was a big shopping mall, and to my surprise, most of the staff in the stores could speak Spanish. It seemed that Spanish was more popular than English here.

City view in Miami was gorgeous. Every building looks kind of bluish under the sky. Then we went to a Mexican restaurant, hoping to get some authentic Mexican food.

While we were walking, we were attracted by the metro moving on the tracks above the roads. Then we decided to try the metro because it was quite interesting.

The metro was very short, and it was FREE. It was so fascinating because we were above the city. We took the metro to the Bayfront park, and we began to walk by the sea.

We kept walking, and we got to the Bayside Marketplace.

To be honest, I had already fallen in love with the weather in the city. The beautiful views only made me want to stay in Miami longer.

We kept walking, and we ran into the Philip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science. Since we had noting to do, we decided to go in the museum. It was a huge museum with so many rooms of different themes.

Then in the afternoon, we were so ready for the concert.

We arrived at the Hard Rock Stadium around 5:30 pm. There were Taylor Swift’s songs everywhere in the parking lot.

Our seats were kind of far away from the stage because the tickets were pretty expensive. The stadium was huge, much bigger than I expected. Everyone was so hyped for the concert.

The guest singers were Charlie XCX and Camila Cabello. They were both amazing artists who were absolute incredible during their performances.

Then around 9:00 pm, Taylor finally came to the stage. The scream was insane in the stadium. I was so excited and happy to see Taylor in person, even the stage was still far away from me.

The tour was amazing, and I did not realize how fast the time had passed.

I would never forget about this experience. The entire stadium was screaming, singing, and dancing.

Both of us were tired on the next day. We planned to go to South Beach and we almost fell asleep on the Uber.

But as soon as we arrived at South Beach, the views immediately caught our attention.

I loved sea. South Beach had met every desire of mine towards the sea. We did not bring any beach wears, but I really wanted to jump into the sea.

Blue and green are two of my favorite colors, and I felt so comfortable just by looking at the sea. It really could cure a person’s soul.

We went to a Cuban restaurant for lunch, though it was already afternoon. It was a small and crowded restaurant by the sea. Sea wind was blowing into the restaurant with the hot summer air. It was so relaxing and comfortable.

We only had a few days in Miami because the school was going to start, but I had fallen in love with the passion of the city. I am the type of the person who loves water and hot weather, and Miami was just like a dream city for me.
