  3. If you want to go to France, there are lots of things that you have to try, to visit and to eat :
    - First, it's better for you to try to learn a few polite words such as bonjour (Good morning), merci (Thanks you), aurevoir (Goodbye), j'aimerais (I would like)... that way, you can say what you want and be polite and more free.
    - When you are in Paris, try taking a barge on the "Seine", because it's really famous and very beautiful. You can eat, dance, meet a lot of different people during the ride around the best monument in Paris.
    - If you want to do something at night, Paris is the best city. It's amusing for you to try drinking a cocktail from a baby bottle in a famous pub (Urgence bar), and afterwards, dancing in a club near to the "Champs Elysees".
    - You should try to come at Christmas, because there are several special lights, music, lots of stores on the street and people are warmer and friendlier.
    - In France there is the best food!! You should try eating several kinds of food because, in France, according to the area, you have different types of food. For example, on the East of France, you can eat "choucroute' it's sauerkraut with sausage. You should try eating frogs and escargot. And the best, it's French cheese with French red wine.
    - If you can, you should try making a road trip to go to the South of France because the weather is better and the lifestyle is more relax, and in the Alpes to go skiing.

  4. When you come to Japan, first of all, try to speak Japanese as possible as you can. Because if you do this, most of Japanese people would be happy to give you useful information that you want to know. We are always polite and kind to who intend to communicate with us.
    And when you are hungry, try eating sushi at Kyubei. Because it's one of the best sushi restaurants in Tokyo. You can taste authentic sushi however this place is little bit expensive. In Kyubei, try to sit down on the floor when you choose a seat. Because it would be unique experience if you come from Western country. Actually it's not the floor. It is called Tatami which is used Jyudo field.
    Then I recommend to try walking around Namiki street in Ginza. It's like a 5th Avenue in NY. Because there are so many famous boutiques and excellent restaurants to check. Of course this is the perfect place for shopping.
    If you are not interested in shopping, try visiting temples and shrines. Although Japanese those architectures are not so gorgeous, there may worth visiting. Because you can feel Japanese virtue and the history those buildings have gone through.

  5. 1. When you arrive in San Diego at the campus, try making many friends from different countries because you will get to know a different culture.
    2.The next thing you should try is going to the beaches as often as you can. They are very beautiful an they have big waves.
    3.And if you can avoid it, try not to eat the food of the cafeteria. The food doens't taste good and it's really not healthy.
    4.It would be better for you and your life in San Diego would be much easier when you try to rent a car. Because the campus is very far away from the beaches and from downtown and you can also drive to LA or Las Vegas.
    5.If you like animals, go to Sea World and try to see the show of Shamu. It's the best animal show that I have ever seen.
    Shamu is a wale and the mascot of Sea World. He can do many tricks.

    ...to visit the capital,Berlin, because it's a wonderful city with many interesting buildings such as "The Brandenburger Tor"
    ...eating the German Food because the food is really delicious like "Schnitzel"
    ...to go to a Night Club, because you can have fun and you meet new people. For example the Club "H2O" in my City.
    ...walking through the Wadden Se, because it's a great experience and a lot of fun. When you walk through this sea you can feel the sand between your toes. In 1 cm3 sand are at least 100 little animals.
    ...to visit as many as cities are possible, because every city is different and every sity has its own atmosphere.

    First of all,try eating Japanese food,for example,Sushi or Okonomiyaki (Japanese pastry) and so on because most Japanese food is so tasty.
    Second, try visiting several places,for example Shinto and Buddhist temples, the mountains, the Tokyo
    Tower and so on. Because if you come in the springtime, you can see such beautiful Cherry Blossoms. If you come in the autumn,you can see amazing autumn leaves.

  9. If you come to Barcelona, my city, you should try eating "PA AMB TOMAQUET" (bread with tomato) and also potato omelet becouse it's a really good meal tipical from Catalonia.

    If you visit my city, try to keep it clean. This is an advice becouse, usually, the visitors are not very careful with the cleaning of the streets.

    You mus try visiting Parck Guell, the famous parck constructed by Gaudi (the Sagrada Familia architect).

    If you to a walk in Las Ramblas, try to take care about your staff, there are a lot of thifs looking for foreigns purses.

    Finally, don't forget going to Barceloneta Beach. Actually, in summer time, is not vey clean and the watter is kind of dirty, but you have to see the atmosphere there, it's a zoo.
