A: Excuse me, do you know where I can buy a train ticket?
B: Have you seen that large building? It has "Ticket Office" written on it.
A: I've seen it, but the door there is closed.
B: I know the door there is closed. You'll have to get in through the side door. The front door is being repaired.
A: All right. Thanks.
B: Hey, wait a minute. After going in through the side door you'll have to go up to the first floor. The ground floor is closed at the moment. Inland train tickets are now being sold at the counters on the first floor.
A: Now I see. Thank you. Bye.
C: Next!
A: I'd like to buy a ticket for Xi'an tomorrow.
C: This is the advance bookings counter, and tomorrow's tickets are not sold here.
A: Does buying tomorrow’s tickets not count as advance booking?
C: Bookings should be made 3 days in advance.
A: But every other counter has a sign saying "Today's Tickets".
