A: You really choose a fine establishment for dinner, Li. The decor is beautiful and the menu looks like it has some great vegetarian options, I'm impressed.

B: I'm glad you like it so far, Jordan. The design here has a nice mix of classic and contemporary. But I mostly chose this place because you said you aren't a big meat eater.

A: Wow, I said that months ago. You've got a good momory.

B: I just try to pay attention to detail. Hey, how about a glass of wine?

A: Sure, what would pair well with what we've ordering? China has so many flavors to offer and I'm still such a newbie.

B: Oh that's right, this is your first time in China. See, my memory isn't that good. So how do you like it so far? By the way. I think any of these whites would be good.

A: It's been fantastic. I feel like you're light years ahead of us: the high speed railway, the whole mobile payment thing. It seems like anything can be done at the touch of a phone here.

B: Yeah, I find living here more convenent than back in the West.
