The first visit to a foreign country that I can remember was when I was about seven years old．We lived about 5 miles away from the Canadian border(边界)．My family and I went to Parc Safari, Quebec, a wonderful place that has animals and rides．We drove down a nice long road．My sister and I sat in the back of the car, and it was a hatchback(有仓门式后背的汽车) so we opened it up．I remember feeding the animals snacks we had bought for ourselves.

When we arrived, there were not monkeys because they had escaped and had not been found．I remember thinking to myself, how cool it would be to see a monkey in our backyard.

It was one of the best family vacations that I can remember．It was not too far from home, it was in a different country and it was with my family．I cannot remember if we went on the rides or not but seeing many animals was a great time．Now I am grown up and have a son, and I am planning to go there again．He is 7 years old and I think he is at a great age to enjoy a trip like this．I am sure it has changed a lot over the years but it will still be a great family trip.

Buckingham Palace is where the Queen lives. It is the Queen’s official and main royal London home.

Buckingham Palace was originally a splendid house built by the Duke(公爵) of Buckingham for his wife. George IV began changing it into a palace in 1826. It has been the official London home of Britain’s royal family since 1837. Buckingham Palace is also an office and used for the administrative work of the royal family.

When the Queen is at home you can see her royal flag (the Royal Standard) flying from the flag pole on top of Buckingham Palace. The flag is divided into four equal parts. The first and fourth parts represent England and contain three gold lions waking on a red field; the second part represents Scotland and contains a red lion standing on a gold field; the third part represents Ireland and contains the gold coat of arms of Ireland on a blue field.

In flag protocol (礼仪), the Royal Standard which must only be flown from buildings where the Queen is present is supreme (至高无上的). It flies above the British Union Flag (the Union Jack), and other British flags. It never flies at half mast.

The guards of the Palace wear red jackets and tall, furry hats. When the first guards come on duty, there is a ceremony called the Changing of the Guard. A familiar sight at Buckingham Palace is the Changing of the Guard ceremony that takes place in the open space in front of it each morning.

The Palace has around 750 rooms, including 19 state rooms, 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 78 bathrooms, 92 offices, a cinema and a swimming pool. It also has its own post office and police station. About 400 people work at the Palace, including servants, chefs, footmen, cleaners, gardeners, electricians, and so on. More than 50,000 people come to the Palace each year as guests to dinners, receptions and Royal Garden Parties.
