Pizza time!




In my Internet English class, I enjoyed looking at a website Caleb introduced us.
It is called "GEOBEATS".
http://www.geobeats.com/

We can enjoy watching a lot of places all over the world in videos.

In many videos, "Pizzeria Leoncino" in Rome made me really want to go there.

According to the video, it has wide variety of pizza and you can choose as many toppings as you want... Sounds fabulous, doesn't it??


Especially, Pizza " the neapolitan", the most popular and classic kind, attracted me a loooooooooot.

I will definetely dine out for pizza tonight!

Colosseum in Rome





Colosseum:Rome
You can see one of the seven wonders of the world and learn about its most interesting facts.
It is stanning to see the huge buildings of ancient Rome.
Colosseum is one of the most famous stadium in the world where battles of gladiators and animals entertained the Romans and their Emperors.
Colosseum is truly picturesque and it is preserving pristine structure.
Imaging how the events were held in the arena of the Colloseum would be a good way of spending time there.

Also, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill are located closely. I got to see all those places.

Hotel Diocleziano



In my DREAM TRIP to Rome, I will be staying at the four star hotel, "Hotel Diocleziano" It costs 23,527 yen per night.
I will stay five nights so that $240 @ day times five equals......$1200!!
Oops! It's over my budget, isn't it??

I guess I will have to change my plan..

I will be back with my new idea.

What a medal means to me







I am a member of the Ferris Golf Club as many of you already know.



Here is the medal I received for our third place award on the competition organized by the Kanto Student Golf Association we played last month.


It is just a piece of a metal, but it means a lot to me.
It will tell that I was here in Ferris in 2008 enjoyed myself not only studying at school but also club activities in the future.
When I entered Ferris last year, I never expected anything like having a lot of YOUNG friends, or participating club activities because of my age.
However, many of girls were so nice to me that I felt very comfortable spending time with them. As time went by, it became more natural for me to be with my friends on campus. That is one of the greatest thing I could not predict.
Sometimes, it is hard to maintain the balance of my time with school, work, and private time because there are a lot of thing I have to deal with. When I feel fatigue, I think about the summer break coming up in a month!
There are always hard time, and good time which gives us the award to praise us like a medal.

Arrive Rome (FCO) 7:00 pm
Mon 1-Sep
Duration: 12hr 40mn
Alitalia Alitalia 785

Nonstop flight

Avobe is my Dream Trip's Flight Schedule :)!

The price for the round ticket is $1.796.

Because of my shoe string budget, which is $2.500, I decided to go on a "Y" class to Rome by direct flight by Alitalia Airline.


According to the "SKYTRAX", Alitalia is a three stars company.

For me, it is more important to go to my destination directly rather than making many stops on better class because it gives me more time to enjoy myself in the place I travel.

So, I will be at Rome on September 1st! Yes!!

More details of my trip is coming up soon!

I can't wait.. I am getting hungry for pasta!

My comment on "BUcket List" was published on the web.


Please take a moment to look it over if you have time.

I made a comment on the movie "Bucket List" to IMDb.com. which is a movie site in the US.
Since it was an assignment to publish the comment on a movie we like in Caleb's Internet English Class, I decided to recommend to watch the movie to other people.


I feel like I have been writing so much about the movie.
Please do not get tired of it!

Love,

Riko
