VIP Class Notes (Tibo) [S]

Speaking exercise

I went to the Dali during the national holiday. It is very beautiful and nice Seaview.
9 days.
It is my first time to go to Yunnan because I can”t go abroad so we have no choice.
October is not the best season to go to Sanya.

I agree with you it is convenient but not special so when I retire I want to go to like Yunnan.

Yunnan has wonderful sea views and their service is so good.
and the pub is amazing.
It is not too noisy you can listen a lot of popular songs in their pub.

We planned to go to Hawaii this year, we bought the tickets but we cancelled too. We got refund because not our reason.

Hawaii is our first choice and Yunnan is just a backup.

I want to go abroad when I am young. I have enough energy to take a long time flight -> long flight  / fly long distance

I am ok with long flights so far.

When I was in my 20s I could go to clubs until 5am or 6am but now 2am.

The weather and the second reason is the speed of Yunnan is slower than Shanghai.

when I order the KFC it is fast food but I wait for 20 minutes.
I don’t like CD but I hot pot

everyone just wake up at 9am, Their breakfast time is from 9:30 to 11:30.
and they do nothing but drink a cup of tea or walk with their dog.

If you are ok with the time you will be fine
There is not a lot of view so I spent 2 days in Dali and 5d in Lijiang and 2d at a lake nearby.

the feeling of road made me feel it is like HK.
