Hi, David,

It's great to hear that you will come soon.

You can travel by plane or train. If I were you, I would do it by plane. Why not contact several travel agencies? They sometimes offer cheap flights.

It is worthwhile to bring another form of identification, such as an ID card, because you don't want to carry your passport all the time. You should bring some British currency in case the bank closes when you arrive. However, it's best to mainly use traveler's checks, because they are safer. By the way, you may find it worthwhile to get a student card-you can get various discounts, especially when traveling.

One more thing-you'd better remember to contact us when you come, otherwise we will be very upset!

Love,

Bin Chen
