I have Learned, often the hard way, that there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey. First of All, always check and double-check departure times. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once i arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and i thought she said that the plane left at 10:50. I walked calmly to the departure desk, thinking I still had a little time to spare. I didn`t bother to take a good look at the ticket. The clerk at the desk told me politely but firmly that the departure time was 10:15 and that the flight was, according to international regulations, " now closed! ". I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency with you when you arrive in a country. This can be absolutely essential if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago, I took a business trip to Oklahoma. I flew there from London via Dallas,with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and since I had no Dollars, i offered to pay in Pounds instead." Listen, Buddy! I only take Real money! " the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was Embarrassing.
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave, especially if you can take only a little baggage with you. I feel sorry for some of my colleagues who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during a day. Few people understand just how important it is to have the right sort of clothes with you in these days of rapid air travel.

When I have lots of money and time, I want to travel around the world. One of my favorite countries is France.
The Eiffel Tower is on top of my wish list. It is the symbol of Paris for a good reason. The Eiffel Tower has an elegant design which earned its place on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The next location I want to go to is the Louvre Museum. The museum is famous for keeping famous works, especially the Mona Lisa by Leonardo DaVinci.
Next up, I want to walk on the streets of France’s romantic villages, have French food and go shopping for clothes. France is such a romantic country so I would like to take as many photos as I could there.
Starting from now, I will try to save up money and go to France in the near future.

Khi tôi có nhiều tiền và thời gian, tôi muốn đi du lịch khắp thế giới. Một trong những quốc gia yêu thích của tôi là Pháp.
Tháp Eiffel nằm trên danh sách mong muốn của tôi. Nó là biểu tượng của Paris vì một lý do chính đáng. Tháp Eiffel có thiết kế trang nhã đã giành được vị trí trong Di sản văn hóa phi vật thể của UNESCO.
Địa điểm tiếp theo tôi muốn đến là Bảo tàng Louvre. Bảo tàng nổi tiếng là nơi lưu giữ những tác phẩm nổi tiếng, đặc biệt là bức Mona Lisa của Leonardo DaVinci.
Tiếp theo, tôi muốn đi dạo trên những con phố của những ngôi làng lãng mạn của Pháp, thưởng thức đồ ăn Pháp và đi mua sắm quần áo. Pháp là một đất nước lãng mạn nên tôi muốn chụp nhiều ảnh nhất có thể ở đó.
Bắt đầu từ bây giờ, tôi sẽ cố gắng tiết kiệm tiền và sang Pháp trong thời gian sắp tới.
Thực ra muốn tới Pháp vì mún tìm hiểu về lịch sử chiến tranh vĩ đại Napoleon
Nói đến quốc gia yêu thích của mình thì sẽ nói đến nước Anh
Có rất nhiều địa điểm du lịch rất đẹp và mình thích nhất là đồng hồ Big Ben ở thủ đô London ( sở dĩ vì đó là nơi Shinichi tỏ tình Ran thôi :> ) và các nơi khác như vòng đu quay khổng lồ London Eye, đài thiên văn Hoàng gia Greenwich, lâu đài Warwick v.v...
Và những món ăn ngon như fish and chips, trà kem, sandwich bò và nhiều món khác nữa ( mê lắm luôn )
Những phong tục, tập quán đặc biệt và lạ, nếu đến được nước Anh thì chắc tuyệt vời lắm, còn quốc gia yêu thích của bạn là gì ?
