  10. ?Would I Like To Go? I would love to visit the Eiffel Tower. As a matter of fact, it is one of the places I plan to visit when I get out of college. I think it is an extraordinary sight and it just amazes me. I also think it’s amazing how they built it way back then without all the technology we have nowadays.
