Exchange of Views about Travel  
- 
Hello, Jane, when did you return from Italy? 
- 
A week ago. I stayed at the Artemide hotel in Rome, on the fourth floor. It’s the hotel most popular 
for couples, though I travelled solo.
- 
How did you like the staff? 
- 
They all were welcoming professionals, ready to help and friendly.
- 
Why did you choose Rome for travel? 
- 
It’s so romantic and fascinating.
- 
What sights did you see?
- 
The Colosseum and Pantheon impressed me mostly with their greatness and splendour. And when 
did you come back from Thailand? 
- 
Three weeks ago. I stayed at the Siam Kempinski Hotel in Bangkok. Its amenities are restaurants, 
outdoor swimming-pools, full-service spa, airport shuttle, and business center. I had a room with 
the ocean view. Ocean, clean sand beaches, bathing, yachting.
- 
Did you meet local people? 
- 
At the market. They sell exotic fruit and vegetables, fish and sea products, best silk, umbrellas, 
pottery. And I went to the local restaurant to eat.
- 
How’s food? 
- 
It depends on one’s taste. At the Thai restaurant there can be chicken in coconut soup, fried basil 
and fork, fried rice, green chicken curry, spicy beef salad, spicy green papaya salad, red curry, 
spicy shrimp soup, and Thai style fried noodles. Some people say it’s delicious and others prefer 
European food.
- 
What did you like best? 
- 
Spicy beef salad. It’s a tender beef with a lot of different spices.
- 
What impressed you mostly? 
- 
Exotic culture. My advice is: start your travel in Bangkok, visit a lot of temples, an open-air market. 
It can be a great trip.
- 
I see that it’s amazing. May be, I’ll go there myself.
