REPORT ON VISIT OF NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR WALES.

                       
                      CLASS TOUR TO THE  NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF WALES


         The trip had involved all the International Foundation Program students visiting the national assembly of wales.The trip started after our  class hours around one in the afternoon,we all took a train too Cardiff city where the assembly house was located.
          During the process of entering the building we under went through several inspections by the guards foe security purposes.The welsh assembly building is quite big and beautiful building.Thereafter  getting inside we got our sits and watched the members of parliament having a debate concerning issues of the community.The members of parliament were both male and female participating in the debate in an official wear of suits which made them appear smart.
            We stayed at least for 30 minutes in the building and after went out and looked around the building which looked quite expensively built.In particular the building looked to have cost the welsh people a lot of money.
         The study tour ended and everyone took his her way back home or somewhere else.But me and some of my friend went on looking and studying about the Cardiff city and later on night went back home.
