Hi, good morning. What’s up?

 

Hi, Dave. I’m sorry, but chances are I’ll be a bit late for the meeting because of a train delay.

 

I’ll take a taxi from the station, so I should arrive by 10:45. So, please start the meeting without me, OK?

 

How can I travel around Tokyo?

 

I think it’s best to take the train. You may find it difficult to use at first, but once you get used to it, you’ll like it a lot.

 

It’s the most convenient way. There’s no doubt about it.
