Hiroki: Haruka. It was great. We went to an exclusive restaurant.

Alana: Oh, which one?

Hiroki: The sushi restaurant at the Hotel New Onishi.

Alana: That restaurant is very expensive.

Hiroki: I know, but I used the money I won in the lottery.

Alana: What was their best dish?

Hiroki: We had the Japanese lobster sashimi covered with gold flakes.

Alana: That does sound expensive. Was it good?

Hiroki: Of course.

Dad: You’re wearing a helmet, but you look scared. Did you go on a bike ride?

Roxy: No, this was taken before the bungee jump.

Dad: What? You did a bungee jump? When?

Roxy: Last Sunday. My friends said I had to do it.

Dad: You went bungee jumping just because your friends told you to?

Roxy: Yes, they said it would be fun.

Dad: Roxy, why didn’t you say anything to Mom and me?

Masami: I’m sure he’s OK.

Tom: He doesn’t even reply to my text messages.

Masami: He’s quit the shogi club.

Tom: I know that, but something seems strange.

Masami: Can I have a bite of your cake?

Tom: No! Please don’t do that, Masami.

Masami: You never let me try your food.

Tom: Why should I? Anyway, what did Sota say to you?

Masami: Nothing. Can we talk about something else?

Yuko: You should try Saru Salon. They are always helpful and friendly.

Thomas: Do they speak English?

Yuko: Yes, the owner, Maki-san, lived in San Diego for ten years. She’s fluent.

Thomas: Oh, great. It’ll be my first haircut in Japan.

Yuko: You’ll be surprised by the great service. They give you a shoulder massage at the end.

Thomas: Really?

Yuko: Yes, it’s included in the price.
