Hey , Mark , long time no see .   Julie ! It's good to see you again . How have you been ?   Great . I just got back from a week's vacation in Thailand .   Really ? How was it ?   Fantastic ! I didn't want to come back .   I hear the beaches in Thailand are beautiful .   They are . And not only that the people are friendly , but also the food is delicious , not to mention cheap .   I do like Thai food . Did you see much of Bangkok ?   Not much . I've got enough city life in Beijing .   I know what you mean . I could use a vacation myself .
