Torquay Hostel, London only 12 US dollars!!!

Torquay hostel london is located near bayswater and paddington areas of london. This hostel includes a large dining room study and mini kitchen facilties which provides a fridge and cooker,i feel that this hostel can also be worth considering since you can cook your own food and supply for yourself, not only do you get to know what it is like to cook for yourself you also get to experiance the feeling of doing things on your own etc.

oh yess p.s i read some reviews on the internet from people who have been to the torquay hostel i think we are better off using this hostel than hostel 63... cause like i read some really bad reviews on hostel 63, they claim that there are rats and lice there, and this complaint wasn't from just one person so yeah even if it is 1 US dollar more expensive this hostel is defintaly worth considering!!!

Lesson Researching :)

So, this lesson we were searching around for MORE information to put together a powerpoint for the parents....I fail.

The jobs were seperated like this:

I think because london is just so big there is no information for every orphanage....oh yea, I want to go to an orphanage ;) I need to find all trasportaion and food etc. for this. My other job is to put a video advertisment summarizing all these....well, I'll have to wait for all info be searched up first. I'm going to finish this later, rushing to the other lesson now. :)
