Have you ever been to Japan ? I'm going in the fall .   Yeah , I've been there twice .   Really ? Tell me about it . What's it like ?   Oh , it's fantastic .   Where did you go ?   On my first trip I went to Tokyo , and on my second trip I visited Kyoto .   What did you think of Tokyo ?   Very big and exciting , but very crowded , too .   Yeah . I've seen pictures of the crowds !   And the restaurant are excellent ... but they're kind of expensive .
