EuroTour 2016 Travel Blog

Welcome to write the City Blog on Joroinen High School Tour in Central Europe in spring 2016! The Blog is created by the English-course-8 students.

The writers will mainly comment on the stays in the cities of our tour: Riga, Ostrava, Salzburg, Prague and Berlin.


Some instructions for the writers:

First of all, the readers want to know some general information of the city. Then, write about the the places you visited and the sights and landmarks of interest that made an impression on you. You must have had your own special experiences during the days - write about them. Don't forget to write about the atmosphere (even the weather) of the day.


The readers may be interested in knowing about the standard of the hotels/hostels that you stayed at, or the restaurants that you went to. Give recommendations: from 1* (one star) to 4****(four).
For those readers who want to take the same tour and see the same places, give words of advice.

Don't forget to take photos – I'm sure the blog is more interesting with a couple of photos on each day.

Remember the netiquette, you are writing for a public blog.
