Cyber Boy 5-26-2013 2:15 pm Hi, I’m planning a trip to Europe this summer. I haven’t decided where to go yet, but I, d like to experience Britain and France. And I don’t want to spend too much money. Any ideas? |
Esperanto 5-26-2013 2:23 pm I had a tour to Britain last year. It’s a very nice place. I had a great time there. If you get a change, visit Stratford. That’s the town where Shakespeare lived. |
Yoshi 5-26-2013 2:28 pm First, you should make sure what you want to do there. Each country in Europe has so much to see. Are you interested in museums and castles (城堡)? Or do you want to get to know anything modern? |
Cyber Boy 5-26-2013 3:02 pm Yoshi—Good questions. I’d like to see some museums, but I also want to try some of France’s famous food, and a castle would also be great. |
Yoshi 5-26-2013 23:21 pm I think an English-France-Germany trip might work well for you. You can do a little bit of everything. That’s wonderful. |
Esperanto 5-26-2013 3:38 pm It’s easier to say than to do. It will need a lot of money and take time. Cyber Boy isn’t so rich. I think he’d better go to France first this time and he is still able to travel to England or Germany in the future if possible. |
Yoshi 5-26-2013 3:54 pm Esperanto—That sounds OK. But I’m not sure if he will have another trip to Europe. |
