Have you ever been to Japan? I'm going in the fall.
Yeah, I've been there twice.
Really? Tell me about it. What's it like?
Oh, it's fantastic.
Where did you go?
On my first trip I went to Tokyo, and on my second trip I visited Kyoto.
What did you think of Tokyo?
Very big and exciting, but very crowded, too.
Yeah. I've seen pictures of the crowds!
And the restaurant are excellent . . . but they're kind of expensive.
And how about Kyoto?
Kyoto is lovely. It's full of beautiful old temples and gardens. It's a very historic city.
How was the weather?
I was in Tokyo in August, and it was really hot and humid. I went to Kyoto in October. It was hot and sunny, but there was no humidity.
