John, what are you doing here? Are you an ecologist?
No, I came here to find Maria.
And where did you disappear after breakfast?
After breakfast I was in my room. I was trying to find Maria's contact information: her phone number, her business card or address. I kept looking for a long time, but, unfortunately, didn't find anything.
But I found an invitation for Maria [to attend] this сongress - here it is! And I have learned where she is supposed to be.
But how did you manage to get here by yourself? You don't have any money, you don't know Moscow well...
Not true, I have got the roubles already! I found a Currency Exchange and exchanged some of my dollars for roubles. See, how much money I have got! Now I can pay you back for breakfast.
No, John, it is not necessary, we are friends after all.
And then I took the metro and came to the city centre.
And, please, don't say that I don't know the city well - I have got a great guidebook, here it is!
I have been looking things up and reading my guidebook many times: on the plane, in the taxi, and in the metro.
The guidebook has everything: the map of Moscow, metro map, photos, listings of interesting places.
So, have you read the whole book? Do you know now everything about Moscow?
No, of course, not everything.
I did read this book often but but I have not read everything, it has a lot of information. But I did learn a lot about Moscow.
So, you have been to the Moscow city centre. What have you seen there?
I've seen the Kremlin, Manezh, the Red Square, the Bolshoi Theatre, the Theatre Square.
I walked, looked around and took pictures of the things I liked the most - here, look at the pictures I have taken!
Leva, look - here is Maria! I knew that she would come - and here she is! Hurray!
