Hana: So Daniel, I heard you went on a vacation, where did you go?
Daniel: Yeah, I went to Taiwan.
Hana: Oh, sounds interesting. What did you do?
Daniel: Well, I did a lot of things. It’s a really interesting place. I saw a lot of culture. I saw a lot of history. I went to beautiful places. They have like really, really beautiful nature. Everything was really, really good.
Hana: How was the food?
Daniel: Well, the food in Taiwan is amazing. You wouldn’t believe how good it is. Everything tastes amazing. And the good thing about it, it’s really, really cheap.
Hana: I see. Who did you go with?
Daniel: I went with a Taiwanese friend, so that was really good because I cannot speak Mandarin. And my friend helped me a lot with all the food, and that was really good because I really appreciated that.
Hana: How long did you go for?
Daniel: It was about eight days. And I think it was more than enough to get like a quick view of the whole island. It was really nice to go from Taipei in the north to some cities in the south. I think I got a really good impression of what Taiwan is.
Hana: Why did you go to Taiwan?
Daniel: Well I’m really interested in Asia and Asian cultures, and since it’s really far from my background, I really want to get to know better all those cultures. And since for many western people are quite the same, I really want to find out those differences. And that’s why I chose Taiwan.
Hana: I see.
