You think Japanese trains are punctual, don’t you? Yes, that is correct. They are rarely late and always on time. However, the chance of delay is not zero./日本の電車は時間に正確だと思いますよね？はい、その通りです。遅れることはほとんどないし、いつも時間通りです。しかし、遅れる可能性はゼロではありません。
Yesterday, I went to National Museum of Nature and Science（国立科学博物館）in Ueno Park (one of the famous sightseeing spots in Tokyo), but on my way home, the train temporarily stopped due to a problem with a broken overhead wire, and I had to walk right and left with my two children…./昨日は上野公園にある国立科学博物館（東京の観光名所のひとつ）に行きましたが、帰りに架線が切れたというトラブルで電車が一時ストップし、子ども2人を連れて右往左往する羽目に……。
We arrived at the station about 10 km before our house on a different line than usual, and then tried to take a cab or bus home, but the lines for both cabs and buses were too long and we could not wait with our children./いつもと違う路線で家の10キロほど手前の駅に着き、タクシーかバスで帰ろうとしましたが、タクシーもバスも行列が長すぎて、子供を連れて待つことはできませんでした・・。
It was hot outside and it would be another hour and a half until the train would be running, so we were trying to figure out where to kill time, but there were no coffee shops nearby, so we ended up having dinner at an izakaya, 鳥貴族（Tori-Kizoku）.
鳥貴族（Tori-Kizoku） is famous for its yakitori (grilled chicken). It was my first time to go there, but I was very satisfied with the cheap and tasty food, including drinks for kids. The kids were happy and we would like to go there again./外は暑いし、電車が動くまでさらに1時間半もかかるとのことだったので、どこで時間をつぶそうかと考えていたのですが、近くに喫茶店もないため、結局居酒屋の「鳥貴族」で食事をすることにしました。
「鳥貴族」は焼き鳥で有名なお店です。初めて行きましたが、キッズ用のドリンクもあり、安くて美味しくて大満足でした。子供達も喜んでいましたし、また行きたいと思います。
My two kids and Me ate and drank our fill and the bill was about 5300 yen（＝36＄。Today’rate）.Cheap! /私と子供2人でお腹いっぱい食べて飲んで、会計は5300円程度でした（安い！）/
The children were excited to see dinosaur fossils and insect specimens at the National Science Museum（国立科学博物館）!/国立科学博物館は、恐竜の化石や昆虫標本などを見て、子供達は大興奮でした！
