On my 16 th Trip to England, I traveled alone as I had done the previous year. I didn't have enough money to travel around. Moreover, one pound almost equaled to 216 yen ; the pound was strong! Therefore, I decided to have takeaway supper because it was cheaper. However, I always chose what I thought to be tasty. It is sometimes good to have such kind of food, isn't it?

It cost £7.60. It was the very time which England was playing football in the Soccer World Cup, so there were a few people on the road. I sometimes heard great cheers all over the place. I realized that English people loved soccer very very much.
