Michelle: Excuse me, is this seat taken? Stranger: No, please feel free. Michelle: Thanks a lot. Stranger: Do you work in Shanghai? Michelle: Yes I do. How about you? Stranger: No, I’m a tourist. This place is amazing! It’s much bigger than I imagined, and much more exciting! There’s so much to see here. Michelle: You can say that again! It’s much more modern than people imagine. Where are you from? Stranger: Um, well let’s see.....I’m from Kansas originally. A much quieter and more peaceful place than here, that’s for sure! Michelle: Uh huh.... Stranger: But I’m living in Paris right now. Michelle: Oh Paris! Wonderful, I’d love to visit some time!
