Wikitravel

I added information and wrote about Hakodate on wikitravel in the internet English class.

The views from Goryokaku Tower is different on each season,spring,summer,fall,and winter. In spring, you can enjoy seeing 1,600 beautiful cherry blossoms and the view from the tower is a best place to see them. However, it takes at least three hours to go up the tower in season which cherry blossoms bloom beautifully because many people go there to enjoy seeing them. In summer, you can enjoy full of green trees, and in fall you can enjoy red leaves.In winter you can enjoy that Goryokaku is covered with snow and at night it is illuminated.

PONYO*

These days, I can hardly wait to watch "Gakeno ueno Ponyo" which is a new animation movie of Hayao Miyazaki.Once I heard the theme song, the music repeats, repeats and repeats in my head!!A little girl sings the song and the voice is really cute! And also the picture of main character, Ponyo looks super kawaii!!!
When I first knew the new movie of Hayao, I though it looks childish and I might not go to watch it.
But now I'm crazy about Ponyo...yes.If I could finish my homework,soon I"ll go to a theater(*^^*)

LONDON

I'm making a plan to go to North England,but our budgest is only 250,000yen. If I go there, it costs more because rural places is needed to use complicated transportation, so I decided to change my plan a little bit, and I'm going to stay London only.

1:20 pm Depart Tokyo (NRT)　-　Arrive London (LHR) 5:15 pm

3:45 pm Depart London (LHR)　- Arrive Tokyo (NRT) 11:10 am +1 day

The flight is nonstop flight, and It takes 11 houses over.Of course, I have small budget, so I'm going to take a trip by economy class.The roundtrip ticket conts $1,643.00

Hotel: The Parkcity London

I'm going to stay The Parkcity London for three night in standard room.

The price is $39.70 per night（It souds cheap and ideal,isnt'it??) but, traveler opinion is 4.7 out of 5!!!It souds a nice hotel^^

The total(including cost of the flight and hotel) is.....

$2,588.29!!! It's over! Oh no....

But, I think it doesn't matter because Caleb will pay...

Sightseeing spot:

I really want to go to Harrods if I stay London.Harrods is very famous department store and it has varieties of goods.I want to buy a lot of suvenirs for myself, my family and friends(but I know my travel cost is over 250,000yen!><;)

Another spot is Buckingham Palace(haha)

During the term from 7/27 to 9/25, we can enter theplace,so during my trip, I can go to see there^^

TOEFL TEST

Last week, I took TOEFL TEST ant it was first time for me to take take real test(Not IPT)
The score is not shown, but I think it's terrible! because I could't listen what the native speakers was saying, so I could't speak and kept silent in front of a computer!
However I think the test was good for me as for that I could know what the TOEFEL TEST is like.
Every time I take some tests, I always think I have to study English and start something to improve my English skills....
