A young Dutch guy is talking to his girlfriend. She is crying. She is crying because he is going to leave Japan. Would you cry if you were her? Would you cry if you were him? He is going to leave in one month. He is going to return to the Netherlands. Is he going to fly with KLM? Is he going to have a stopover? How long is the flight going to take? Is his girlfriend going to visit him in Europe?

The guy and his girlfriend are on a train. They are going into the center of the city. They are going to visit a travel agent. Herman is going to book a ticket. How much is it going to coast? That night Herman and Naoko are going to meet Uncle Taro in a restaurant. What time are they going to meet? What kind of restaurant are they going to go to? Is it going to cost a lot? Are they going to split the bill?

Herman and Naoko arrive at the travel agent. Are there many people there? Herman books his ticket. There is a French man in the travel agent. Where is he going to fly to? Herman talks to him. What language do they speak? Would you talk to him? What do they talk about? When is the Frenchman going to leave? Is he going to come back? How long has he been in Japan?

That night Herman and Naoko meet Uncle Taro at the antique shop. They go to a restaurant. How many people are there in the restaurant? What kind of restaurant is it? One of the waiters is very rude.
