My next holidays
(Sent by José M. Rivero, a student from Telde, Spain)
Next summer I'm visiting China with 4 friends, for fifteen days. There, we are going sightseeing in four cities, Beijing, Xian, Lijang and Shangai. We are having to stop off in Madrid and Munich.
The flight will be good, it'll be on time, I hope so. Also I hope that we aren't going to have any problem at the customs, because the customs agents are very serious in China.
It'll be sunny, but it could be raining rainy some days. In Beijing we are staying in a four-star hotel, named Red Star. It was is near the Forbidden City. The people say that the hotel workers are unfriendly, and they aren't don't speak English very well so I speak worse than them.
A friend said told me that the Chinese eat sitting upon their own feet below their doors, they play on the pavement with their strange games, and even we'll see people vault in underpants (getting a fresh air) on the floor in front of their house!
Also, we'll see children who are washing up with their mothers in the middle of the alley. The mechanics work on the pavement with their tools in front of their business and we'll have to be careful not to step on them! It's a different culture!
I hope that this travel will be amazing!
