Let me tell you about my special trip! I went to Europe with my two uncles and my two cousins. 

On the first day, we flew ten hours to get to Slovakia.  People thought I should be tired, but I was very excited. The next day, we went to my uncle’s company in Slovakia. We looked around the company. The company looked busy and the job looked difficult to do. We wanted to go shopping, but all the shops were closed. So, instead, we had dinner and packed our luggage for our next trip to France.

In France, we went to many places. When I walked along Champs Elysees Avenue, I stopped and bought a Minnie Mouse cup for my sister and some pens for my friends. I thought of the street as “Character Avenue” because there were many different stores selling character items. My favorite place in France was Notre Dame because I saw it in my history and art books, so it was marvelous. A miserable place to visit was Versailles Palace. I couldn’t go in there because it was crowded. If I can go there again, I want to go inside.

The next trip was to Italy. Italy was my favorite country because the architecture was very colorful. Firenze in Italy is famous for leather. I bought many things for my family, like a wallet, a bracelet, and a belt. The design was simple and not very colorful, but it looked nice. I went to Burano in Venezia. Burano is famous for its colorful houses and glass art. I bought a necklace and a glass souvenir designed to look like candy.  I hoped to buy more, but I didn’t have enough money. However, I thought this could be a good excuse to come back again.

The last trip was to Vienna. We didn’t have much time, so we spent only two days in Vienna, Austria. On the first day we went to our hotel. I was surprised by the size of the room in the hotel. It was much bigger than the other hotel rooms we stayed in. Then, we went to a big department store. I bought a present, but I did not have much money. I really wanted to buy an orange wallet, but it was $79. That was too expensive, so I couldn’t buy it. On the way home, I thought “I will save money to buy the wallet later.” We rode a tram back to our hotel. But, it was hard to find the tram station. So, we asked the people on the street for directions. We asked three different people and they were all very helpful. I found myself thinking Austria was one of the kindest places in Europe.

This trip was very nice for me, especially as it’s far away. If I can, I will go to there again. I want to go to more countries in my life, like Germany, England, and Canada.
