Most tourist destination is safety, but we should be walking with caution and only in a group. Certain areas in or near downtown and South central can be dangerous regardless of the time of day, and should be avoided althogether when together if possible.

Movie review activity instruction

One movie I want to see is You've Got Mail!!


Maryann said "I've been starved for a great romantic film and YOU'VE GOT MAIL more than sated my appetite! ...The movie was 2 hours long, felt like 10 minutes, and I didn't want it to be over! This is a definite keeper, and I can't wait for it to come out on video so I can watch it again and again!"
SRVforever said"Unbelievable film! Such a warmth and happiness!...The film doesn't get boring, even if watched for the 23rd time! It's pure magic"

Based on the review, I want to watch this movie more and more.This movie is fulled with a lot of warmth and happiness and I like such a love story!! Moreover, this movie's leading actress is Meg Ryan!! When I watched movie "I am Sam", I was very moved her performance. I have high expectation of this movie!!
