#Person1#: is this seat taken?
#Person2#: no. please sit down.
#Person1#: thanks.
#Person2#: are you also going to Beijing?
#Person1#: yes, on a business trip. How about you?
#Person2#: I'm taking a vacation to visit a friend there. Have you ever been there before?
#Person1#: yes, I went there once last summer.
#Person2#: really? What did you think?
#Person1#: I think it is amazing. You can enjoy both the traditional Chinese culture as well as the vitality of a modern cosmopolitan city. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the subway.
#Person2#: was it that crowded?
#Person1#: yes. There were always so many people. After taking the subway during the rush hour, you'll envy sardines in their cans.
#Person2#: oh, maybe I can take the bus or even rent a car.
#Person1#: that's a good idea. Wish you a great vacation!
#Person2#: thank you very much!
