Recently twin pandas were born at Adventure World in Wakayama Prefecture. I wanted to see the baby pandas so my husband and I went there in April. Before the trip I put together a perfect itinerary. We drove around Shirahama and saw many scenic spots the first day because we could get discount tickets at the hotel for the next day. When I asked for the tickets, the desk clerk said, “I’m so sorry. Adventure World is closed tomorrow.” The park was only closed one day in April, and that was the day we were planning to go! I thought I had checked everything.(written by a reader, edited by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
