Dialogue 2
A: How were things in the Tokyo branch when you were there?
B: Good! They have expanded and are doing better than they were last quarter. It's nice to see some improvement for a change.
A: Do you see the trend continuing over the next few months?
B: Yes, especially with so many of our executives going back and forth from here to Japan. The only problem is, they may have trouble when they go to open up business here.
A: Why would you say that?
B: They aren't too familiar with doing business outside of Japan. There are a lot of cultural differences to account for.
A: I'll say! Sometimes they just do things really differently. But one thing I can say, they are really hospitable.
B: Have you ever been to Japan?
A: Sure! I just got back yesterday. I'm still suffering from jet lag.
