Beautiful Architecture

Please watch the video and answer the questions.

1. Which piece of architecture looked best at night?  Why do you think so?
2. Which one looked best in the the day?  Why do you think so?
3. Have you ever seen any of these structures?

Kyoto station is a little controversial, many people love it, but others think it does not suit the city. I think it is an amazing building and I love visiting it. It is vast and its modern design is a good contrast to the traditional buildings within the city. The height and shape of the roof make me feel that it is a cross between an old style British station and a European cathedral. For me it is fantastic. 

Before class think of a piece of architecture you really like. Prepare to tell the class about it. If possible bring a picture.

Piccadilly Circus

Please watch the video and answer the questions.

1. What is your impression of Ripley's?
2. Would you like to visit the Rain Forest Cafe?
3. How do you feel about Hamleys?

In the video the presenter made an itinerary 旅程 for a trip to Piccadilly Circus in London. Before class make a short  itinerary for a place you like and know well.  Choose between three and five places to visit in that area. Prepare to tell the class about your itinerary.
