I chose Japan as a destination and l visited Kyoto and Tokyo.
First we flew to Kyoto, a beautiful and ancient city where even the temples and palaces where emperors lived are preserved .
We could also see the forest of bamboos and enormous Japanese gardens .]]> 2016-10-17 10:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/petergala/AMemorableHoliday/wish/131078971 petergala https://padlet.com/petergala/AMemorableHoliday/wish/131079281 I went to Somalia three years ago. I flew with two my friends. We were very excited. My brother took us to the airport. We went to a hotel and the next day we went to tourist places and we swam in the sea. It was very hot. We saw lots of people but at same time we hard a little found in outside city we feel screened. We met different people. They worked
for the government and civil society religion leaders and youth leaders. I talked about Somalia how could resole its problems. I read poetry in front of people in the conference talked about peace and development my country. finally I liked my country I will never forget that time,

I went to visit the capital city of Sweden which is Stockholm. It is a busy city but I spent most of my holiday in a village called Tierp. It's really beautiful and calm. I went to Sweden to meet my sister, nephew and nieces. It was a nice experience to go out for a while, away from the busy streets of London where pollution can't be smelt. During the holiday I went to an awesome museum. It wasn't just a normal museum of Sweden. It used to be a prison.It showed us how people lived in prison and what happened to them. It was really astonishing to find out such things happened in Sweden. I also got a chance to go to a sauna for free. It was a good experience. I spent most of my time in Sweden exploring it and getting to know its beauty. Sweden is surrounded by trees and flowers and not many cars but lots of bikes. I rode a bike around parts of Sweden. I  tried Swedish dishes for the first time. It was very extrodinary.]]> 2016-10-17 10:28:38 UTC https://padlet.com/petergala/AMemorableHoliday/wish/131079405 petergala https://padlet.com/petergala/AMemorableHoliday/wish/131079654 Last July I went to my country. We drove to the airport. We had a luxurious flight. When we arrived in Somalia, most of our family came to greet us as it was my return home after 15 years.  Everyone was extremely pleased to see us.  They prepared a meal for us as we were very hungry when we arrived.   We arrived late so we slept. The next day we stayed home and explored the country as it was the beginning of an adventure. We stayed there for 48 days.  We visited many different places. I met many different people including my school friends.  We enjoyed the holiday.  The last day was probably one of busiest days. making shopping and saying goodbys.

The last day was the saddest day I was really upset but happy as well because I was returning home.

We didn't see each other for six years. I stayed in Bologna for two weeks and we visited many places like the City centre. We went to an Italian restaurant and we had pizzas. It was nice and we visited an Eritrean restaurant. It was good.

When I was in Italy I went to visit my aunt in Milan. When she saw me she was very happy and I stayed with my aunt for two days. After two days I went back to my friend's house. We had a lovely time with my friend and her Children. I love to go Italy agenot.

I stayed in a hotel in the centre of Edinburgh. It had a swimming pool but it was too cold to swim. There are lots of things to do.The people are very friendly. Last week I went to Lochness but  I didn't see the monsters. Scotland is very beautiful but unfortunately the weather was awful. It was very cold and it rained everyday.]]> 2016-10-17 10:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/petergala/AMemorableHoliday/wish/131079725 petergala https://padlet.com/petergala/AMemorableHoliday/wish/131079792 Ten years ago I went with my husband and my friends to Peru. In Peru we visited several places. The first place was the capital, Lima. Lima is a big, noisy, polluted and crowded city but has amazing historic buildings like the Cathedral, the Town Hall or the Monastery of San Francisco.

          After that we went to Cuzco. This place is a cosy city, where we visited the historic centre. Plaza de Armas is the central square in the old city with Incan ruins. The problem was that breathing was very difficult due to the altitude and we had to chew coca leaves to get used to it.

          Also we went to the Titicaca Lake and that night we slept in the locals' own houses.

          But the loveliest place where we stayed was the Incan citadel set high in the Andes Mountains called “Machu Pichu”. Machu Pichu is beautiful, extraordinary and powerful. Standing at the top and looking out over the ruins, you can’t imagine how this place was built.

          This trip was one of the most wonderful trips that I had ever made.

I went to Milan last month with my friend.  We flew to Milan by WIZZ AIR. We stayed for three days in a great hotel near Duomo. During the day we walked
around the city. We saw all the famous places like the Duomo and the theatre La Scala. We took a lot of photos. At night we went to restaurants and had
fantastic pizza,salad and pana cota.
Our favourite restourant was in the via Montenapoleone. We bought some very expensive clothes, shoes and bags. We had a great time. Milan is  a very nice town with special atmosphere and the Italian food is wonderful.
