Demo Class Notes (Natalie T – Jesse)

i haven’t traveled for half a year but the last time when i travel i think before i back to china because i spend 2 years in the UK, before i back to china i went to italy because you know UK and italy are quite close so i went to italy because i got the google offer, so i need to take a good rest. I went to venice and i was staying in a air b&b house. The air b&b house was run by 2 chinese people i think they are couple and they did, the most interesting thing is that the breakfast they made was really nice because they are all chinese food. you know when i was in the UK i missed the chinese food a lot. I remember when I was tooking a photo of the river, then an italian boy just walked in the line … a guy came to me,…. i didn’t know how to speak this word.
