hello, Mr. Rashi hi how are you fine
thank you how was your vacation it was
wonderful I'm so happy to hear that was
your flight okay no pretty bad actually
it was so bumpy it was very scary
that's too bad did you have nice weather
after you arrived no the weather was
terrible very rainy I actually never saw
the Sun that's awful so what did you do
I stayed inside the hotel was a hotel
room nice the room was fine but it was
right next to the cafe and the music was
very loud I didn't sleep much I'll bet
the food was great no it was too salty
for me and the waiters were very
unfriendly did you go shopping at all a
little bit until someone stole my wallet
after that, I stayed in the hotel and
read a book was the flight home okay
actually, they canceled my flight I had
to stay for two more days terrible but
Mr. Rashid, you said that your vacation
was wonderful yes I did and it was
wonderful I met a very nice persona
the woman actually her name is Basma she's
from Lebanon just like me but she lives
here I'm seeing her tonight so yes it
was a great and wonderful vacation
MR. Rashid yes
Mr. Rashid welcome back come tell me
about your vacation
what a terrible vacation Mr. Rashid had
oh you know on my vacation last year
someone stole my car that was a horrible
vacation I went on a cruise and there
was an outbreak of illness I was in my
room for a week that was a really bad
vacation I went to Disney World and
someone stole my map
that's your worst vacation it took ten
minutes to get another map alright what
was your favorite vacation I spent two
weeks in the Caribbean last year diving
snorkeling and swimming with dolphins it
was amazing
I went to China a few years ago it was
incredible the people there were so
friendly and everyone wanted to practice
their English with me I went to the
beach and ate shrimp that's your best
vacation I really like shrimp
to go on more exciting vacations
I don't like exciting vacations in fact
I don't like to travel very much then
why do you work in a travel agency it's
across the street from my apartment so I
don't have to travel far to go to work
so, Mrs. Beatty, we should talk about your
safari trip to Botswana I'm so excited
my first time in Africa you're going to
be flying into Johannesburg South
Africa would you like a window or an
aisle or window I want to see everything
in Johannesburg, you should take a taxi
or a limo to your hotel
the next day you could fly or you could
take a train to Francis town in Botswana
is it an express train yes I'll take the
the train I'd like to see the country great
then after you see Francis town you can
take a small plane or a bus to the
Okavango Delta how small is the airplane
it's pretty small I'll take the bus is
it an express bus I think so when you
get to Gemara you're going to be taking
a boat to your hotel a boat the hotel is
on an island when you get to the island
a man with a donkey can take your
luggage to the hotel
a donkey there are no cars on the island
is it an express donkey
I think it's probably a local donkey of
course if you don't want the donkey you
could take a small plane it goes
straight to the hotel, I think I should
take the donkey donkeys never have
mechanical problems right right
South Africa hello Mrs. baby why hello
Paul where are you traveling to now Mrs.
Beatty is going on a safari in the
Okavango Delta in Botswana nice are you
flying in are you taking the train bus
boat donkey listen I'm going to be
taking the donkey I did that once myself
you did was it very exciting oh it was
on the way there the plane had
mechanical problems that sound scary we
got in late and I missed the train to
Francis town so I decided to take a bus
but I got on the local bus - I don't
like local coffee then the bus had an
accident so I went to the car but it
broke down oh dear
I got to go Mari two days late then I
got seasick on the boat for the other oh
did you have any problems with the
donkey I got bumped from the dung you
mean they overbooked the donkey no I
mean the donkey bumped me off the road
to the hotel but it was a very exciting
the trip you'll love acid so it's any
questions Mrs. Beatty just one how much
is a ticket to Paris
Hey
here comes Bob yeah he wants to sell me
his digital camera hi how was dinner

digital camera money can buy

are you selling it I have to Cheryl gave
me another one for my birthday it's not
bad how much do you want two hundred and
fifty dollars wow that's great that's
more than I want to pay but that's less
then I give you two hundred for it no I
need at least two forty-five sorry all I
have is two ten there's an ATM right
I could go as low as 230 but that's it
sorry thanks anyway
alright I'll sell it to somebody else
what are you doing you almost bought
that camera yesterday for $300 you don't
know how to bargain do you bargain of
course I know how to bargain you don't
know how to bargain you could buy that
camera for two hundred and thirty
dollars but now it's gone
alright you can have it for two twenty
five to twenty-two twenty-four to 21 to
23 to twenty-two, not a dollar more I'm
not selling this for less than two
hundred and twenty-three dollars here
here's one dollar now you both get what
you want it's a deal
I'll get some money from the ATM great
good idea
Thanks
thanks for dinner my pleasure
I saved a lot of money on the camera
should I leave the tip no I'll put it on
the credit card five dollars that's not
enough sure it is the bill was $50
that's only 10% so didn't you like the
food it was good was there a problem
with the service no then you need to
leave at least 15% no I don't home we
come here all the time
the waitress gives us great service
because we usually tip well I always
leave 10% to have a nice evening we're not
quite ready no problem
look I'm paying tonight so I get to
decide how much to tip oh all right hey
isn't that Mr. Evans over there where
nevermind it's someone else
shall we go
thank you very much you're welcome
are you a music fan depending on the
music yeah so what kinds of music do you
like I like a classic rock I like to see
what's new I like rock and roll and
hip-hop and things like that I like
classical and jazz when doing you usually
listen to music I use to listen to music
whenever I'm waking up in the morning
and getting ready and also whenever I'm
getting ready to go out in the evenings
I always listen to music so how often do
you listen to music
at least twice a day and where are you
when you listen to music in my office or in
the car do you go to concerts yes
sometimes what concerts do you like to
go to classical music and opera do you
have a lot of CDs or cassettes yes quite
a lot could you tell me a little bit
about the types of music you well I like
you know boqueron music and my neck
American music as a matter of fact I
don't own very many CDs but my husband
owns lots of CDs and so I listened to
his instead approximately how many CDs
do you have a few hundred wow that's a
lot how would you compare yourself with
your sister how are you alike and how
are you different for example do you
like the same kind of music or the same
kind of food well we do look alike but
apart from that, we're very different
she likes the arts and I'm more
interested in sports well I would say
first of all that my sister is much
better with money than I am she you know
she can save whereas I like to spend me
and my brother is quite different I'm
much more
talkative and he's much shyer but
other than that I mean we grew up in the
the same house so we love the same food and
we listen to the same music pretty much
and we like the same movies we whenever
I go back home I was watching movies
with him and Satsang in general which do
you think is better a small family or a
large family what speaking from personal
the experience I would prefer to have a
small family but like I do I feel that
parents have more time to spend with
their children there are more funds for
each child at the same time I can see
how a large family could be fun having a
a lot of brothers and sisters and large
family occasions so what are the
disadvantages of a big family um it's
very hectic it's very noisy it's like a
the train station is obvious people going in
and out so you can never have time alone
and you know when I do one time alone
I'll have to go out out of the house the
jog do something it's very very crowded
noisy in and out in your opinion what is
healthy food I think like a lot of
green things like salad and vegetables
and fruits are very healthy what what
foods would you consider unhealthy um
those fast food potato chips sodas so do
you try to eat healthy foods I try any
healthy foods yes I don't always succeed
but I try and eat healthy foods what's
an ideal diet in your
I would say like potato vegetable
chicken so for example what might you
recommend for a good breakfast good
breakfast would probably be an egg no
butter little salt and pepper and maybe
a piece of white toast
all right wheat toast excuse me so
for example for dinner tonight what are
you thinking about dinner
can we do chicken broccoli or maybe?
stir-fry which consists of a lot of
vegetables like broccoli carrot pepper
being string beans those are the things
that I love to cook
okay how about spicy foods or spicy
foods okay to eat yes I'm not a big fan
of spicy foods but uh I think they're
okay to eat how about sweet food
sweet fruits you can eat sweet foods if
you don't eat too much are you an
exercise fan yes I love to run I run in
the morning before work can I run on
Saturdays and Sundays along the river
and to the park are you a fan of
exercise not really so Rita would you
consider yourself a couch potato no I'm
not a couch potato absolutely not I just
I hate to exercise so do you actually
have a routine that you follow every day
yes go out I go to the park and meet
people who are in my age group they're
80 60 70 we have quite a several 80s
and one 90 years old and we need to walk
we run for about three and a half miles
and I go would I go to the park when I'm
not no three days a week I go to the
pool and walk in the water and
the rest of the time I go to the park
and walk how often do you do Tai Chi
about once a week so do you feel
exercise is important yes I think it's
important but not enough to do it more
then once a week well to be honest I'm
going lazy that's why I wished I could
do more exercise
maybe I should be starting from today do
you fly frequently yes I fly maybe twice
a month do you fly frequently I do yes I
travel a lot with my job so I'm always
on an airplane what kind of a seat to
request when you fly I always want to
sit at the aisle so I can stretch my
legs I prefer to sit in the back of the
the plane you know window seats I always get
a window seat one I like to sleep and I
need something to lean up against so
have you had any problems with
traveling in terms of delayed flights
missing flights anything like yes I have
I've missed a flight
flights have been canceled they've been
delayed I've had to either go home or if
it's in a city that where I'm not from
I've had to get a hotel so could you
tell me your worst airplane travel
nightmare yes when I had to fly from
Austria to America I got stuck in London
Airport and had to wait 10 hours for a
the flight that got postponed first
canceled and postponed and all the
stores were closed and all we could do
was just sleep on benches and in the
front the floor and try to find food
that was not very good so it was not a
good experience
yeah that sounds awful yes it was awful
do you want to see a playtime does the
play begins it started a is that okay
love to go I see you then I heard got
some good reviews there's a plane watch
the show it's called one single life to
lose think about it I don't
