Because I won lots of money, I flew home first class. For my next trip, I’m going to go to China. I’m leaving tomorrow at 7:00 pm. I’m going to stay at the Hilton Hotel in Shanghai and Beijing. In Shanghai I want to ride the Maglev train, and in Beijing I really want to see the Great Wall and take a photo of it.

three weeks. In Italy we are going to eat lots of amazing food, go to lots of museums, and spend lots of time just exploring
the country. I don’t know what I’m going to do next year. Maybe I’ll go to China and teach English there for a while, or I might
go back to university and do a PHD.
