So, you're going back to the United States tomorrow.
Yes, that's correct. I'm flying home.
I'm afraid of flying, are you?
No, flying is fine with me.
That's great. Er, back home, do you fly quite often for your job?
No, I go to the work by bus and drive to different business appointments, but sometimes I take the train to go to the business conferences in other cities or things like that.
I see. So tomorrow you will have a really long flight.
Yes, terribly long.
It's probably 15 or 16 hours, I suppose.
Mmm, from Shanghai to Boston, mmm, let me see, it is about 18 hours in the air.
So how do you pass the time on the plane?
I like to sleep as much as possible.
OK, do you take medicine or just have a beer or...?
No, no, I don't take any medicine. I tend to stay up late the day before, so that I'm tired and I want a sleep on the plane.
That's a good idea. And I hope you have a good flight.
Thank you very much.
