00:00:07,836 --> 00:00:10,267
Hello, Mr. Rashid!
2
00:00:10,302 --> 00:00:11,396
Hi, how are you?
3
00:00:11,431 --> 00:00:13,622
Fine, thank you. How was your vacation?
4
00:00:13,657 --> 00:00:14,688
It was wonderful!
5
00:00:14,723 --> 00:00:17,254
I'm so happy to hear that. Was your flight OK?
6
00:00:17,289 --> 00:00:18,965
No, pretty bad, actually.
7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,413
It was so bumpy. It was very scary.
8
00:00:21,448 --> 00:00:23,120
That's too bad.
9
00:00:23,155 --> 00:00:26,131
Did you have nice weather after you arrived?
10
00:00:26,166 --> 00:00:27,787
No, the weather was terrible.
11
00:00:27,822 --> 00:00:30,479
Very rainy. I actually never saw the sun.
12
00:00:30,514 --> 00:00:34,451
That's awful! So, what did you do?
13
00:00:34,486 --> 00:00:36,152
I stayed inside the hotel.
14
00:00:36,187 --> 00:00:38,178
Was the hotel room nice?
15
00:00:38,213 --> 00:00:41,339
The room was fine,
but it was right next to the café,
16
00:00:41,374 --> 00:00:43,386
and the music was very loud.
17
00:00:43,421 --> 00:00:44,541
I didn't sleep much.
18
00:00:44,576 --> 00:00:47,159
I'll bet the food was great.
19
00:00:47,194 --> 00:00:49,138
No. It was too salty for me,
20
00:00:49,173 --> 00:00:51,443
and the waiters were very unfriendly.
21
00:00:51,478 --> 00:00:53,362
Did you go shopping at all?
22
00:00:53,397 --> 00:00:56,017
A little bit — until someone stole my wallet.
23
00:00:56,052 --> 00:00:59,046
After that I stayed in the hotel and read a book.
24
00:00:59,081 --> 00:01:01,588
Was the flight home OK?
25
00:01:01,623 --> 00:01:03,822
Actually, they canceled my flight.
26
00:01:03,857 --> 00:01:05,653
I had to stay for two more days.
27
00:01:05,688 --> 00:01:10,528
That's terrible! But Mr. Rashid,
28
00:01:10,563 --> 00:01:13,454
you said that your vacation was wonderful.
29
00:01:13,489 --> 00:01:15,910
Ah! Yes, I did. And it was wonderful.
30
00:01:15,945 --> 00:01:18,709
I met a very nice person — a woman actually.
31
00:01:19,078 --> 00:01:23,453
Her name is Basma. She's from Lebanon,
just like me, but she lives here.
32
00:01:23,488 --> 00:01:25,513
I'm seeing her tonight.
33
00:01:25,548 --> 00:01:27,664
So, yes, it was a wonderful vacation.
34
00:01:27,699 --> 00:01:29,869
That's great, Mr. Rashid.
35
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:37,776
Mr. Rashid. Welcome back.
36
00:01:37,811 --> 00:01:39,915
Come, tell me about your vacation.
37
00:01:45,971 --> 00:01:48,933
What a terrible vacation Mr. Rashid had!
38
00:01:48,968 --> 00:01:55,317
Oh. You know on my vacation last year someone stole my car.
39
00:01:55,352 --> 00:01:57,925
That was a horrible vacation.
40
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,595
I went on a cruise and there was an outbreak of illness.
41
00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:04,645
I was in my room for a week.
42
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,106
That was a really bad vacation.
43
00:02:07,141 --> 00:02:10,303
I went to Disney World and someone stole my map.
44
00:02:10,338 --> 00:02:13,860
That's your worst vacation?
45
00:02:13,895 --> 00:02:16,628
It took 10 minutes to get another map.
46
00:02:16,663 --> 00:02:20,096
All right, what was your favorite vacation?
47
00:02:20,131 --> 00:02:23,528
I spent two weeks in the Caribbean last year,
48
00:02:23,563 --> 00:02:27,920
diving, snorkeling, and swimming with dolphins.
It was amazing.
49
00:02:27,955 --> 00:02:31,037
I went to China a few years ago.
50
00:02:31,072 --> 00:02:34,653
It was incredible. The people there were so friendly,
51
00:02:34,688 --> 00:02:38,189
and everyone wanted to practice their English with me.
52
00:02:38,224 --> 00:02:42,002
I went to the beach and ate shrimp.
53
00:02:42,037 --> 00:02:45,005
That's your best vacation?
54
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,848
I really like shrimp.
55
00:02:47,883 --> 00:02:52,011
Bob, you need to go on more exciting vacations.
56
00:02:52,046 --> 00:02:54,172
I don't like exciting vacations.
57
00:02:54,207 --> 00:02:56,570
In fact, I don't like to travel very much.
58
00:02:56,605 --> 00:03:01,264
Then why do you work in a travel agency?
59
00:03:01,299 --> 00:03:03,347
It's across the street from my apartment,
60
00:03:03,382 --> 00:03:05,788
so I don't have to travel far to go to work.
