Se isso já aconteceu com você, saiba que é super comum (eu também já passei por isso!) . Vou compartilhar um pouco da minha experiência pessoal e comentar algo bem interessante que li sobre o tema.

TEA Time Story # 1 Airplane Talk

ドイツは10月3日月曜日が祝日だったので三連休でした。１ヶ月前にイタリアから帰ってきたばかりでしたが、ハンブルクに旅行することにしました。今回はカッセルという街まで車で行き、そこからICEという高速列車に乗って行きました。合計で片道3時間ほどかかりました。
ハンブルクはドイツで2番目に大きい町で、町の中心に大きな湖があります。緑が多く、ドイツらしい建物もたくさんあって、美しい町でした。
残念ながら、雨が降ったり止んだりの三日間でしたが、街を歩いたり、おいしいものを食べたりできて、楽しい旅行でした。
今回の旅行で一番楽しかったことは、ジャズバーで生のジャズを聴いたことです。最近生演奏を聴く機会がなかったので、久しぶりの生演奏はとても良かったです。


みなさんは最近どこかに行きましたか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。

祝日：しゅくじつ　national holiday
三連休：さんれんきゅう　three day weekend
高速列車：こうそくれっしゃ
片道：かたみち　one way
合計：ごうけい　total
湖：みずうみ　lake
雨が降ったり止んだりだった：It rained on and off　
演奏：えんそう　musical performance
生演奏：なまえんそう live music
