    Sightseeing in the United Kingdom. After the wedding, my cousin and his wife went to the United Kingdom for nationwide sightseeing. He faxed a letter to me in English yesterday. To my delight, he no longer made any tense error, and his description roughly clarified my questions about the UK, its currency, its administration, the institution which divides it into four provinces, and the historical conflicts and quarrels when southern Ireland broke away from the UK.

    Unwilling to leave out any attraction, my cousin arranged his enjoyable journey carefully. One attractive place he visited was a castle in the countryside of Scotland which lies near a port. It used to be the headquarters of the Communism Union, but broke down during the war. Finding nothing could take the place of this splendid architecture, people accomplished rebuilding it in 1952.

    It was to their credit that all furnished rooms are consistent with what they used to be. My cousin was thrilled by its collections consisting of statues plus royal uniforms folded in glass tanks. Though there was no possibility to buy some of these exhibits, it was convenient to take photos which he sent me along with his fax.
