A manned luggage storage counter/(車站,機場等)寄物櫃台
A manned luggage storage counter/(車站,機場等)寄物櫃台，在安排旅行行程的時候看到的字，也有用a left-luggage office；一般電子或使用鑰匙的寄物櫃就是luggage lockers；另外售票口(櫃台)/a manned ticket counter(window or office)說法很接近，順道補充：
There is a manned luggage storage counter at Berlin train station.
The tickets can be purchased at the manned ticket counter/window/office.

Schedule vs. itinerary vs. agenda vs. timetable
Schedule/行程(表) vs. itinerary/旅行計劃 vs. agenda/議程vs. timetable/時刻表：
1. schedule/行程/時程(表)，表示一連串活動/事件發生的時間(可能包含地點)，多用在工作或事件時間的排程或進度上；(美)可用在交通工具時間表或學校課程表上。
Could you help fit me into his tight schedule?
I expect this project to be finished on schedule.
What's Tim's class schedule this semester?
Here is the schedule of city bus(US).
2. itinerary(n.a.)/旅行計劃(的)，多用在旅程相關的活動計劃/時間安排上，包含遊玩與出差的行程：
The travel agent will have my itinerary ready tomorrow morning.
Your flight no. will be shown on your itinerary.
3. agenda/議程(表)/日常工作項目，多出現在會議裡面，指的是一連串需要被討論的事情(可能有或沒有表定的時間)。"agenda"與"schedule"用法的差異，通常在你的行程(schedule)裡會有很多會議(meeting)，但一個會議只有一個議程(agenda)；agenda另外也用在日常生活工作項目：
The agenda of this meeting will be emailed to you a week before the meeting time.
The boss would like us to list our agendas of today first.
4. Timetable/時間表/時刻表/課程表，一連串事件或計劃發生的時間表，(英)常用在交通工具時程與學校課程表上：
I wish I did not have a busy timetable next month.
Excuses me, where can I get the timetable for the train to London?
I have "Introduction to British Literature"on my timetable every Monday morning this semester.
On my mind:
I never think it will be this complicated. Originally, I am just curious about the different usage between "schedule" and "itinerary". It turns out that "agenda" and "timetable"appears in the usage discussion as well. Since I am going to deal with them, it is better to deal with them all at once.

A gap year traveler vs a career breaker...
不管是taking a gap year or taking a career break，都在西方國家行之有年，a gap year 通常是指求學階段的學生（高中到大學或大學到研究所），在進入下一個求學階段前，花一年時間旅行或工作。
A career break則多是已經工作一段時間的上班族，決定中斷工作旅行，當志工或做短期進修。

里約熱內盧...英文
最近非常著迷 the new TV program of Anthony Bourdain - No Reservations! 今天剛看完他介紹的里約熱內盧，老實說這又是一個我很不熟的大城市（哈，有太多的城市要認識），所以今天就來用力記憶一下：Rio de Janeiro，希望快點有時間可以來整理一下一些世界重要的國家跟城市！

Kiosk...車站內或路邊的小報攤
今天又學到一個新單字: kiosk/ˈkiː.ɒsk/ 車站內或路邊的小報攤，對我來說也是一個很神奇的字，哈...因為如果從中文去想，大概一輩子也不會學到這個字，學語言...真的是沒有盡頭的一天，總是有新的東西可以學...突然很想念上法文課的時候，比起英文，學法文，對我來說，挑戰更大了，之前學了兩年...現在好像都還回去了，但學習新語言的過程，還是覺得很有趣啊!
