go to the pub, and eat English food.

One of my Japanese friends came too.

It was her first time to go overseas,

but she really enjoyed her stay.

 

I took her to places such as Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Kings Cross etc.

 

We also went to a seaside town called Brighton,

and spent the day chilling out on the beach with friends.

On the way back to Japan we spent a few days in Taipei.

 

Whilst there, we tried the famous smelly tofu, dumplings and tapioca tea.

 

I really enjoyed the dumplings and the tea,

but I couldn’t stand the tofu!

It smelt so bad!

My friend didn’t like it either.

 

I really enjoyed my stay in Taiwan and am now going to study Chinese.

 

Wish me luck!
