Haruka's Trip to Europe

Haruka's Trip to Europe!

Hi! I'm Haruka Muragishi. I'm a student at The English Studio.

Last Christmastime, I went to Europe for 2 weeks! The trip was planned by a university professor in Kyoto. So most of the people on the trip were university students. I travelled with my sister and my friends.

We left Kansai International Airport on December 15th. We went to Venice first. Venice is the city of canals. So I could see beautiful sights I had never seen. Very narrow streets with no cars, pretty gondolas, and so on. I thought it was like an amusement park! And we ate delicious seafood.

Next, we went to Milan. There we ate delicious Italian food again! We saw Duomo (the big old church) that was the biggest one in Italy.

And then we went to Paris. It was Christmastime so we could see beautiful lights in the streets. And we went to see the old castles. We went to the museums, too.

The last city we visited was London. I was looking forward to going to London the most, because I'm studying English Law at Okayama University. And my teacher of English law, who is an English solicitor, gave us a chance to visit his mother's house. It was about one and a half hours from Victoria station. His mother welcomed us, and we had a very good time.

I came back to Osaka on December 30th. I experienced too much to say here. I studied some cultural differences, I saw very good scenery, and I made friends with good people. I really want to say thank you to the people who gave me a chance to go on this trip, and to the people who I met during this trip.
