The first time I went abroad was when I went to London. It was in the summer holidays about five or six years ago and I went with my friends. The plane and train were quite expensive, so we decided to travel by coach.We left at five o'clock in the morning and the journey to London took about sixteen hours.
We stayed in London for three days, in a youth hostel(青年旅社)not far from the centre. My friends and I had a big room on the top floor.The beds were not very comfortable and the bathroom was very small but it had a wonderful view overlooking the Thames.
While we were in London we walked a lot. First, we went to see all the famous attractions: Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus,and Buckingham Palace.Then we went shopping in Oxford Street.On the last day my friends and I went to Camden Market.You can buy all kinds of jewellery and clothes there. I bought a silver ring for my sister. It was really sunny in the afternoon, so we went to watch a football game. Unfortunately, I think the ring fell out of my pocket during the game,and I had to buy another one.
I really enjoyed visiting London although the youth hostel was not perfect.Next time, I will stay at the Ritz but I will ever feel as excited as I did that first time.

【推荐2】Amazing new museums around the world we’re excited to visit
From an AI museum in Seoul to a music legend’s living room in Paris, here’s where to get your newest culture experience this month.
Grand Egyptian Museum, Cairo, Egypt
After work for more than a decade, this museum will open to visitors in late 2023. The GEM is expected to be the world’s biggest archaeological museum and will display more than 100,000 artifacts. Among the collections, you’ll find 5,000 treasures, some on public display for the first time in history.
elBulli 1846, Roses, Spain
Once a high-end restaurant overlooking the beach, Spain’s elBulli is reopening to the public for the first time since it closed in 2011 — but with a twist. elBulli 1846 will be a first-of-its-kind restaurant museum, showing the inventive cuisine crafted by its former head chef Ferran Adria. Opened in 1964, the restaurant was named the world’s best five times. Note: there won’t be actual food (sorry).
The Robot and AI Museum, Seoul, South Korea
Whether you love or loathe AI, this new museum in Seoul, opening in November, is a proof to its attraction. Loaded with all things of artificial intelligence and robotics, the RAIM aims to educate the public on machine learning and robotic technologies.
Factory International, Manchester, UK
A mix of music, dance, art, and performances, Manchester’s Factory International is a new cultural center showing creativity and innovation.

【推荐3】The Camino de Santiago
How long is the Camino de Santiago? That depends. Some take on the all-Spanish 1, 000 km Via de la Plata route from Seville to Santiago to Compostela, while the most popular route, from Saint Jean Pied de Port in France-sometimes called the Camino Francés or French Way-is 790 km.
A popular 116 km hike, ideal for 10 days of leisurely walking, is known as the English Way-not because English Christians prefer camping and pub stops to walking, but because it is believed the route, from Ferrol on the Galician Coast, was used by pilgrims (朝圣者) arriving from Britain and Ireland. The English Way starts with coastal views and passes through the small towns of Pontedeume and Betanzos, and lots of wooded and agricultural areas.
Top Tip
With a Pilgrim’s Credential, you qualify for lodgings (住宿), which have bunk beds (双层床铺) and shared facilities and cost from just £5-6 a night.
When to Go
This part of Spain has relatively mild weather year round. March to October are likely to be best for sunshine, but rain is always possible here.
Do It Yourself
Fly with Vueling (vueling, com) from London Gatwick to A Coruña, with returns £100, or take a boat from Plymouth to Santander (£150 return).
A Coruña to Ferrol by train takes an hour and 10 minutes and costs £5.5.
Lodging costs for 10 days come to about £60.
The 40-minute train from Santiago de Compostela to A Coruña costs £5.5.
