And, of course, youre not entirely wrong, as those are features of both palaces and castles.So then hay bother to visit one royal building in the United Kingdom Buckingham Palace and
12、another the same country Windsor Castle? It turns out there is a difference，and you can find it pretty plainly in these two popular buildings.The Case for CastlesCastles were residences for royalty. But they were also intend as defensive seats. Say youre a king who has taken a particular area over.
13、Now you have to hold it, castle and staff it with soldiers to defend your conquered territory and ensure it remains part of your kingdom.Castles were built throughout Europe and the Middle East primarily for protection of the king and his people.

But luckily for me, Via Rail Canada offered youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of
20、 July. The ticket was a bargain $150. My best friends Trevor, Joel and Jeremy and I immediately jumped at the opportunity and secured four tickets on the great Canadian railroad.

For now, researchers say that they are not as interested in possible surveillance (监视) uses of this technology, but rather
