Why should I go there?

My city Acirema is a medium-sized city with 50,000 inhabitants. It is very beautiful and located in the mountains. My city is a famous for a waterfall named LE FALLS. Many tourists come each year to see the waterfall and eat toast with our most famous dish coffee butter. The weather is mild all year round. This means that there are many plants and fresh  flowers that grow all over the city. My city is safe and quiet. The architecture of my city is old. At night, it is perfect for romantic walks. The nightlife in my city centers around cafes in the city square. It is rude in my city to pass someone on the street and not say, " Gleve" which means "Good evening." I hope you visit my city for a nice, relaxing trip.
