Sophia, where are you?
I'm at the airport.
I’m also at the airport.
I told you not to come to pick me up.
Anyway, I'm here.
Where exactly are you?
I'm at the domestic terminal, near the ticket counter.
You go to the gate, I'll be there.
Hi Jennifer, finally meeting you.
I'm also glad to see you again.
Let me introduce my friend, this is Jackson.
Hi Jennifer, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, too.
I'm Mia, Sophia told me a lot about you.
Yes, we used to be roommates in college.
Used to?
When we were freshmen.
I transferred schools in my third year.
Why did you change schools?
I want to study close to home.
So are you studying here?
Exactly, right here in this beautiful city.
We've been wanting to come to your city for a long time, but now we have the opportunity.
Maybe Sophia advertised too much.
So where will you stay?
Maybe we'll stay at the hotel.
Have you booked in advance?
We haven't, I'm looking for a hotel near your house so we can meet more conveniently.
My house is in the city center, the hotel price will be quite expensive.
Maybe we'll find a homestay, it'll be cheaper.
Why don't you stay at my house, there's plenty of rooms left.
I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for your family.
It's okay, my parents are very hospitable.
Okay, that's fine, we'll have more time to talk.
Great.
We'll take the number 9 bus to my house.
Mom, Dad, this is Sophia and her friends, can they stay at our house for a few days?
Of course, they can.
You can stay in the rooms above.
Thank you very much.
I should have contacted to ask for permission first, but plans have changed.
You are too polite, let me clean the rooms.
Let us make it.
The room is also quite clean, I just need to clean a little.
So let us clean up with you.
What's your name?
I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Sophia, and this is Jackson and Mia.
Are you guys from the same school?
Yes, that's right.
And I'm Jennifer's old roommate.
Jennifer told me about you, thank you for helping my daughter during her time in college.
She also helped me a lot.
The room has been cleaned, please put your luggage in, I will go to the market to buy
some things to prepare for dinner.
Thanks mom, but just remember not to buy seafood, because my friend is allergic to seafood.
Oh what a pity, the seafood here is so delicious.
Alright, let me research something else.
Have you planned where to go for the next few days?
I don't know, you are a local, recommend us places to visit.
There are a lot of places to go, but what are the places do you like?
I love going to the beach.
There is a very nice beach nearby.
Is there anything fun there?
It's very crowded because it's a popular place.
It is unwise to go to a crowded place during this time.
You can go to the sea game area, where there are fewer people.
Great idea.
Are there any cafes with sea views?
I know a very nice cafe that will take you there some morning.
That's too good.
How about you, Mia.
I like to go somewhere with good food.
That's my forte, I'll take you to a lot of specialty restaurants here.
Everyone loves good food.
How about you, Jackson.
I want to go to historical places.
The southern castle is the most famous place in my hometown.
Great, so let's go there today.
Okay, then we'll think about where to go next.
Do we need to book tickets in advance?
Probably no need, this time there are very few people to visit.
You won't be able to visit without booking in advance online.
Who told you so?
I saw it on the castle website.
Why do they do that?
You know, the world is facing an epidemic.
Public places need to keep a distance.
And do not gather in large numbers.
The epidemic is almost over.
We must not be subjective.
Do we also need to wear masks?
Mandatory wearing of masks has ended.
But we should also wear them in crowded places.
We should book tickets before they run out.
They recommend booking online to guarantee entry.
Due to phased reopening, some areas of the castle will be closed.
That's a bit of a pity.
They have reduced the admission price to reflect that.
I booked tickets for three adults.
Why didn't you buy a student ticket?
I have searched but there is no offer for students.
They should have offered a discount for people like us.
They have a discount for National Historical Society members.
But none of us are members.
Come on, the ticket price of only 10 dollars per person is not expensive.
I'm just asking in case we miss the discount.
When are we going?
I bought the entrance ticket at 9 am.
We should go, or we'll be late.
But how are we going to get there?
There are two options: taxi and bus.
We should take the bus for cheap.
But we have to make two trips.
That will take a lot of time.
I think we should take a taxi.
So let me call a taxi.
We have arrived at the tourist destination.
There's still a long way to go to the castle.
From here we have to walk into it.
But the road is still very far.
That's the rule, so we have to abide by it.
Why do they have such rules?
Maybe they want to protect the castle.
They can drive closer.
Vehicles that move a lot can damage the castle.
That castle is made of stones.
They want us to walk to improve our health.
We want people to walk to see the sights.
That's really helpful, let's go.
Cross this bridge to the castle.
We have reached the castle gate.
Which direction should we go?
Does anyone have a map?
I have it.
Let's explore the highlights of the castle.
Nearest to us is the hall.
This place is so big and majestic.
Walking a lot makes me a little thirsty.
We should take a break.
Going this way, there's a small cafe here.
Review Sophia, where are you?
I'm at the airport.
I’m also at the airport.
