You seldom go to the sightseeing places in your hometown. It’s only when someone comes to visit you from out of town that you go to see these places. My younger daughter, who lives in the U.S., came back last week for a visit. On Sunday, we went to Nagoya Castle. I hadn’t been there in years. A lot has changed. The city has rebuilt the Honmaru Palace that was destroyed in World War II. It is a beautiful, wooden palace full of golden painted screens. Outside, people dressed up as ninja and samurai guided tourists and posed for photos. I felt like I was in Kyoto, not Nagoya. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Note:
conductor 車掌

The guide tried to stop the train by hitting the window with his hands, but it didn’t stop. Instead, the police arrested him after seeing him on the station camera. He told them that he had to get back to his group on the train, but they didn’t believe him. They called the Cassiopeia, and luckily the conductor said that he was telling the truth. But how did the he get back to the train? A police officer took him to Fukushima by Shinkansen. When the Cassiopeia came into the station, he got back on. It was still early in the morning, so no one on the tour ever found out! (by Prof. Doulas Jarrell)
