On monday, I met my friend Brian at my apartment’s laundry room. Brian and me lives same apartment so, sometimes we met in the laundry room. That time I asked Brian “How was your weekend?” He said, He went to the Washington D.C with his girlfriend Antoniata. They were met the there friends and they ate dinner and saw the movie. Actually, I never visited Washington so, I want know Washington’s anything. Brian explained Washington’s many things like Washington has a lot of Korean restaurants, museums and shopping centers except he explained many things. I listened to that I was very interested. So my sister and me decide the visit the Washington D.C next weekend. I’m very exciting!! 

Last night, I went to the my Brazilian friend’s home with my sister. she live’s her American boy friend together, his name is brian. We were eat dinner together and told about thanks giving day.
