Dear Saloni Hi! I’ve just come back from an exciting vacation in Belgaum. The city has changed a lot in the recent years. There are a lot of new buildings in the centre of the city. I don’t like the new buildings; still I feel fascinated. I’ve been to Belgaum before also and I visited the places I know. Even these have changed. An old fort in the south of the city has been restored. There are now a lot of fast food joints near the Central Market. However, despite all modernisation, Belagaum’s natural beauty is still intact. There are lots of forests and parks. You can escape from the city and feel you are in the countryside. And what’s best is, in the evening there is so much to do. You’d love being there. Come with me next year! Lots of love, Vani
