next summer vacation


Today I would like to talk about my journey to London which I am planning to go next summer with my friend called Chihiro. Chihiro is one of my best friends who used to be in same class in ICU high school and also we belonged in same dance club. We promised to go when we become 2nd grade in university since we were 2nd grade in high school, so we were talking about this travel to London for 3 years. The reason why we chose London is we both used to live in Britain and we miss it so much.
 As I had some free time on Wednesday I went to travel company to see how much it would cost. I thought it would cost more than 500 thousand yen including aero plane, hotel, food and many other things. But I found out that if we go there as the student travel it would only cost 200 thousand yen which is still expensive but not impossible. So if I save 20 thousand yen every month I would be able to go in 10 month.
 I started to have part-time work from this summer vacation so it is exactly a year until I leave for London if we are really going to go. Now I have aim to go to London so I think I could work harder than now. I and Chihiro haven't actually made the plan in detail yet so we are going to meet recently.
 I have many things I want to do in London.
First of all, I really want to go to the shopping center to buy some clothes and also some tea! I really love teas:) There is a tea shop called Wittard and I love this shop so much! This shop sells many flavored teas and also some coffees. They also sell pretty tea pot and mug cups! So I want to see what kind of flavor they sell now. I also want to go to "Accessories" which is an accessory shop. There is one in Kichijyoji where I live but it is very small and also expensive. And I believe it is cheaper if I buy it in London as it is brand in London.
 Secondly I want to go to the supermarkets!! It's funny to say I want to go to the supermarket, but I really miss supermarkets like Tesco, Sainsbury, Waitrose and others. I want to buy the cheap biscuits and also cheap teas!! When I was in London I realized the tastiness of dipping chocolate biscuit in English tea. I want to eat that again;)
 Thirdly I want to visit the castles. Since I started to learn about the castle and the English history in British culture lesson I noticed how precious to visit the castle. So by having my information about the British history I would like to visit the castles again.
 Also I want to go sightseeing in London. I want to see London more slowly. There are many more other things I want to do!, like watching musical and visit my friends and my old house.
 I have many things which I look forward but I also have some worries like procedure of hotel, aero plane and other things. Because when I go traveling to other country, my family was always with me so my father did all the difficult procedure things for us. So when it comes that I have to do it myself I'm really worried. But still I'm excited;)
 By writing this blog I think I have to earn more money. 200 thousand yen is not enough! I have too many things I want to do. I hope I can really visit London with Chihiro next summer.

  1. Hello.
    I'm James.

    I hope you have a nice jorney to Britain.
    By the way, I was surprised to find out that trip to Britain costs more than 200 thousand, I guess it is natural because you will stay at hotels, buy cloth and many other things.

    I did not know you liked Moves like jagger.
    It's good.

    bye
