Demo Class Notes (Stella – Jesse)

I have been to michigan, it’s not like shanghai, very fast city, there is slow down and just like you sightseeing more than relaxing. I went to Michigan because study. I went to Japan with my parents, my aunt and we went to Kyoto, went there to see some very old building, tower, and to see the deer. because Japan is just similar like China, similar culture, and they are all from Asia so just feel not very different, and on food culture. Their hotel are very small, if you book 2 person room there only can sleep 2 person. Because I’m a traveler, not a person need to work at there,so i feel very relaxed, maybe if I work there i feel not comfortable.
