Excuse me, is this seat taken?
No, please feel free.
Thanks a lot.
Do you work in Shanghai?
Yes I do. How about you?
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.
You can say that again! It's much more modern than people imagine. Where are you from?
Um, well let's see. . . I'm from Kansas originally. A much quieter and more peaceful place than here, that's for sure!
