This week Mona and I discuss the phrase OUT OF THE WOODS. Is it about German fairytales, recovering from an illness or just resolving any problem? And what does it say about human psychology? Listen to find out. (Thank you to cocoparisienne at Pixabay for the image)

On Halloween day, I went to Universal Studios Japan in Osaka with my university friends. We went there in the evening and stayed until the next morning. We took a night bus from Yokohama to Osaka. I slept almost the whole time on the bus, so when I woke up, my back and neck really hurt. After we arrived, some problems happened. One of my friends forgot something on the bus, and another friend lost her phone. It was very stressful, but we managed to solve everything in the end. Before going to USJ, we visited a hot spring. It was my first time in a long while, and it felt so relaxing. I thought that I want to go to a hot spring more often. At USJ, we rode many attractions, and I was really happy. The park was full of Halloween decorations, and everyone was wearing costumes. It was exciting to see so many people enjoying themselves. On the way home, we took a train for nine hours back to Yokohama. We stopped in Atami and ate delicious seafood bowls. Although the trip was a little hard, I think I had a wonderful Halloween experience that I will never forget.

Does it sound natural? I’m not even sure that I have a B2 level so I still need to work on my English
