    Haha, I love the "thank you for listening" at the end. =P km means "kilometers" not "kilometer." Do not forget the "s" Only when there is 1 km you say "kilometer." Everything else is correct, beautiful. I just want to let you know of one convention about names and numbers. When you learned how to count and read numbers, it was for amounts. When we talk about amounts, we say "two hundred and forty." For example, "He is two hundred and forty pounds" or "I traveled one hundred and fifty miles." However, when we talk about highways, the number is not an amount. It is only a number to identify the highway. So we want to say the number quick. So, it is correct to say "Highway One Hundred and Fifty," but it is common to say "Highway One-Fifty." Superb. Excellent! Music to my ears! Keep practicing so you talk more confidently. You still sound shy. =P

    Yes, excellent. Also, "cafe" should put emphasis on the second syllable. But that is only a very minor thing. Anyone would understand everything you said...
