I’d like to make a trip to London this Spring. These days I’m preparing for the schedule. I’m planning to visit London, Oxford, Liverpool, and any other cities around these places. And I also want to meet some friends there. I’ve planning to book flight and hotels, but actually haven’t made it. Maybe I will finish it in the next two weeks. I’m excited, because I will go to visit the British Museum, which is my favorite in the world. And I’m excited because I finally will visit the Oxford university, I love that university.
