The Meeting


Erina is an exchange student in Vancouver. She meets Mike and asks for directions. (Scenes 3 | Part 1 of 7)

 

Erina: Hey, excuse me, do you know where I can find F Building.

Mike: Yeah, it's just down at the end of this road, and you take a right, and you're going to see the fountain, and the building that's on the left of the fountain is the F building.

Erina: Oh perfect, because I'm looking for a room, F 305, would it be in the same building?

Mike: Yeah, it's in the same building, but it's not actually on the 3rd floor. So as you walk in the entrance, the classroom is going to be just on your right.

Erina: Okay, thank you. That's pretty confusing. But, okay, thank you.

Mike: By the way, I haven't seen you around. Are you a new student?

Erina: Yes, I'm on an exchange from Japan.

Mike: Oh wow. You don't seem to have much of a Japanese accent.

Erina: Oh thank you.

Mike: Have you lived abroad?

Erina: Yes, I've lived abroad for many years.

Mike: Many years.

Erina: Yes.

Mike: Where have you lived?

Erina: I don't know where to start with, but, I've lived in Africa for many years, and other countries for many years as well.

Mike: Wow, Africa. What country did you live in Africa.

Erina: South Africa, and Zambia. A lot of people don't know where it is, but...

Mike: Well I've never been there, but I do know where it is.

Erina: That's great.

Mike: Why did you go to Africa?

Erina: Because of my parents' job. I was really young, but my parents dragged me all the way to Africa.

Mike: That must have been quite an experience.

Erina: Yes it was. I gotta catch a class, so I gotta go, but thank you very much for your help.

Mike: Yeah, no problem. I'm usually in the cafeteria, so if you see me around, don't be a stranger.

Erina: Okay. Oh, I'm sorry I forgot to introduce myself to you. My name's Erina and I'm majoring business in this school.

Mike: Nice. I'm majoring business, too. My name is Mike.

Erina: Oh wow, nice to meet you. I will see you around.

Mike: Okay. See you later.

Erina: Have a nice day.
