Instead of business class, I attended TOEFL class, which is a preparation class for TOEFL exam. There were only four students today. It is said there must be more tomorrow.
We practiced for a listening part.

26.June.Tue. Sunny Reservation for Paris trip

Mamiko and I went to Thomas Cook travel agency.
Mother will come in August, and then we are going to visit Paris together. Therefore, we wanted to make a reservation today.
Ivan, the staff, asked us, 'how much do you want to spend?"
"I'm not sure, but,,,we don't want to stay such a cheap hotel."
"Paris is popular for tourists, so there's no second-class seat of Eurostar." he said, looking at a computer.
And he recommended a luxury hotel, which we cannot afford.
In a meantime, he seemed to understand us.
He made a reservation of second-class Eurostar, which he had said no vacancy!
And he recommended a suitable hotel for us, "it is two-star, but the quality of this hotel is equal to three-star hotels."
What kind of person this Ivan is! but we cannot hate him. He has a friendly atmosphere.
At last we reserved and handed 492 pounds for three people to Ivan. When he took the money, he smiled and pretended running away, "thank you, bye."
Finishing the reservation, Ivan told us he would call me when tickets came.
"It is interesting to talk with you, despite different languages."
Yes, it's true.

27.June.Wed. Sunny Luis

In TOEFL class.There was no one when I enter the class room.
Luis, a French boy, appeared next.
Suddenly, he talked to me in Japanese.
"Konnichiwa (hello)."
"Bon jour." I answered in French.
"Oh! Watashi no namae ha Luis desu (my name is Luis)."
"Je m'appelle Fumiko."
"Sugoi desune, watashi ha furansu jin desu (great, I am French)."
"Ah, Je suis japonaise."
Then now I gave up speaking in French.
"Why do you speak Japanese?"
"Okaasan ga nihon jin desu (my mother is Japanese)."
I see, I understood. Anyway, I'm glade to see another interesting person like you!

In the evening, I went to a Chinese restaurant Poons with some Japanese friends, a Korean girl, and a Taiwanese girl. This restaurant is well known for price. It is one of the cheapest, compared with other restaurants in China Town.
