well, heres your chance to win a one-week language course in kent, england! free4fun and etc (english travel connections) are giving away two trips to rochester. this historic city is less than an hours drive from london and close to the sea resort of herne bay. it is also the home of one of englands most famous writers, charles dickens. the town of rochester is in southeast england. charles dickens often wrote about it in his books. his home, gads hill, is there, too. a popular attraction is rochester castle, a large norman fortress（堡垒）. it was built in the 11th century and rebuilt during the 14th century. other attractions are rochester cathedral, which was built during the 13th century, and dickens centre. it has got its name in honor of dickens himself.the trip to england includes:* travel by train (via the eurotunnel) to and from any railway station in germany* room and full board with a guest family for one week* language course in small groups* two trips to london* large choice of sports and entertainment* german-speaking advisors available 24 hours a dayinterested?
