Dear Will,
I hope you are well. So, I have finally returned to Thailand after three years away in the UK. It is amazing to be back in Bangkok after so long. I have really missed the place. The traffic is still pretty bad, but they have improved the subway system. So, it’s easier to get around.
Last night, I went out to a nightclub with my friends. The music was better than it used to be. It was a great night out. My parents sold their house, so we are outside the city. It is quieter at night than before, and it is only a two-minute walk to the subway.
I am staying here for a month and then going to Japan for a year to work as an English Teacher. I hope you can make it to Bangkok one day.
All the best,
Harry

Our Holiday in Spain
Our trip to Spain was wonderful! First, we flew to Valencia, one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. It’s a picturesque and elegant port city. We stayed at Hampton by Hilton there for three nights. We went sightseeing and just relaxed at the swimming pool.
From Valencia, we flew to Ibiza, arriving on Saturday morning. We went to Las Salinas, which is one of the most popular beaches in Ibiza. The next day, we had a go at water skiing or parasailing. One night, we took a bus tour to a traditional Ibizan village and stayed for dinner and a Flamenco show. We heard Spanish songs for voice and guitar, and we saw traditional dances – it was a very special evening.
From Sant Jordi, we drove to San Rafael. We stayed there for two nights. The very next day, we went back to Ibiza and flew back to Valencia. We plan to come back to Spain soon, but for now, we’re on our way to Portugal!
