If you’ve ever been to Costa Rica, you will know that this Central American country is famous for its volcanoes (as well as its beaches, climate, and food - but that’s a subject for another time!).

Golden temple is a famous religious place in India, which is located in the center of the Amritsar city. It is also known as Harmandir sahib. This building is made purely with gold and is surrounded by a beautiful pool of water. I visit there by road with my family because it is 150 km away from my city.

I have visited this place many times in my life, and enjoy the peaceful environment.
