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)

When I was leaving the parking lot of a university, I saw a cat wandering on campus. I stopped my car and tried to take a photo of her, but I couldn’t. As soon as she saw me, she ran into the bushes. As is usual with cats, she watched me from the bushes. I wondered why cats watch people after they run away. I could only see her eyes through the bushes. I hope the Daigaku Neko club will be able to take care of her. There used to be a lot of cats on campus about 10 years ago. Then this club started and found homes for many of the cats.
