Adam: Alright, hi Jin!

Jin: Hi, Adam.

Adam: How are you doing?

Jin: I'm doing good.

Adam: Ah, you're from Nepal right?

Jin: Yes, I am.

Adam: I was thinking about going there. Could you tell me some good places to visit while I'm in Nepal?

Jin: Yeah, sure. It's really nice a nice place. I mean, you should totally come to my country. I would recommend that you should go to a place called Pokhara because that's the most famous tourist site in Nepal. There's a really beautiful lake there, and then I know that you like sports, so then there are so many different kinds of activities like bungee jumping, rafting, kayaking... I don't know. What is it?

Adam: Kayaking?

Jin: Kayaking, yeah! So yeah, I think you'll love it there. That's the best place I would say.

Adam: Oh, cool! How far is that from the capital?

Jim: Ah, you have to take a mini-bus, and it will take you around six hours and you'll be there.

Adam: OK, cool! When's the best time to go there?

Jin: I think during spring would be better.

Adam: Yeah?

Jin: Yeah. It's really nice there, like, and the people are really nice. The food is amazing, and there's a really good nightlife there because people ... like there's ... what do you call it ... pubs, and like live music, so yeah, it's a really fun place to be at night and in the daytime.

Adam: That's great. I love live music. Do you have any like events or festivals that I should go to when I'm in Nepal

Jin: Actually, in Nepal there's a lot of festivals, but I would recommend you to go there when there's a festival called Holi. It's around February ... March. (Laughter) So yeah, the festival is around March and what we do is we play with colors. We throw colors at each other, and then even throw water balloons. It's really fun, like the whole environment is really colorful, bright and everyone is very happy.

Adam: Yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun. I think I've seen pictures of that before. How many days is that celebration?

Jin: It's actually only one day.

Adam: Oh, really?

Jim: Yeah.

Adam: Cool, I really want to go. Anything else you can tell us about Nepal?

Jin: If you like hiking, then Nepal has a lot of mountains. Actually, Mt. Everest is in Nepal so you can even try going there.

Adam: Wow, that would be amazing. I really look forward to going there. Thank you so much for your time today.
