for an Asian like me.

[keannu]

At Deanstone Distillery, I could find the word, “Arkwright spinning machine.” Anciently, it was not a distillery,,,,,,
[FONT=&#48148]It was a very unique experience for an Asian like me. There I could find a way new experience. Likewise, travel is always pleasant for me as I can always learn new things.

Are the underlined parts correct?[/FONT]

Everything is wrong with this one except:

Travel is always pleasant for me as I always learn new things. (Revised.)

Maybe you could start with saying why you were at the distillery and where it is.

Anciently, it was not a distillery,,,,,,

1. Although "anciently" is a word, it's very rarely used. In fact, my immediate reaction was that it was wrong. It reminded me of a certain nameless famous person's "bigly".
2. Yet again, what is this bizarre string of commas supposed to be?

Perhaps:

I enjoyed my visit to the Deanstone Dillstillery. It was a brand new experience for me.

I would start over. I wouldn't keep any of it.

The commas are a symbol of omitted parts inbetween to show a background sentence. I think I forgot to use only three commas instead.

You shouldn't be using commas at all. You are trying to create an ellipsis. An ellipsis consists of three dots (full stops) with a space at either end.

Someday, I will visit a ...
Someday, I will ... distillery.

I'm sorry I forgot it. I think you taught me about this years ago.
My ",,,," is a bad habit I definitely need to break.

 

[Tarheel]

I sometimes use an ellipsis when there are a bunch more words in a sentence, and I don't want to type them. However, the other person knows what those words are. I do it most often in Bassim's threads. If after my suggested change the rest of the sentence remains the same I might not want to type all the words.

I meant "in ancient times" and I think "long ago" is a little bit different from it.
Can I use "in ancient times"?

I don't know why you think that.

Can I use "in ancient times"?

It is certainly possible, but if somebody says "In ancient times" I think In terms of centuries, maybe millennia.

You are right. The distillery started in 18 century, not in ancient times.

I changed it like this, please go over it.

=>It was a very unique experience for a foreigner from Asia like me. It was an extremely brand new experience for me.
As in this experience, travel is always pleasant for me as I can always learn new things.

Of course, I'm always right.

If you ever get a chance you might want to visit Paris and see the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre. and Notre Dame (while it's still standing). As for the USA, popular tourist attractions include Yellowstone Park and the Grand Canyon.

Here's a tip for you: It's a common error among Korean speakers to start sentences with There + clause.

Don't do that.

You could write:
It was originally used as a cotton mill before it was converted into a distillery in the year...

It was a totally new experience for me, coming from Asia. This is what I like about travelling to foreign countries expecially those in the west. Being exposed to new environments and new cultures is enriching and exhilarating.

No. First, I detest very unique. All you have to say is It was a brand new experience for me. Then I enjoy traveling because I am always learning new things.

Finished!

Don't do that.

It is common in Chinese and Malay too.
