I spent two weeks in this college with my school; all the places were so comfortable! There were a lot of classrooms, and the days passed so quickly, I couldn’t believe it was already the end! This was one of those experiences that I would repeat endlessly, like in a loop.
Thank you so much.

Thank you for the wonderful trip - we returned yesterday.
All was very well organized, from accommodation, meals to direct organization, including travel to other cities, on the program and extra. All our numerous requests, from a change of level of the class to visiting the fireworks. Food - otpada. Attitude - great. Detail - we had old invalid tens, so Ed, the director, he personally changed them and delivered the next day).
We were their first Russian group, and, as always, they will remember us in a very good way)))
I regret that I had not contacted you earlier with this college, but I'm glad we had the time)))
Ed. the director of the center wanted to contact you personally via email. I wouldn't mind going again to the center where he would be the director either.
They took us to Dover Castle for an extra trip.
It was really cool. I think you can go to Canterbury. There's not a lot of Russians there and a lot of Japanese.
