Rumei: Yunbo, hurry up. Come on or we'll miss the train. Yunbo: Relax, Rumei. We're okay. We're early. Dashan: Yunbo's right, Rumei. We've got a lot of time. Dashan: Let me see. These seats must be ours. 13 A and B. And 15 C must be over there. Rumei: Why don't you and Yunbo sit together? I wouldn't mind reading for a while. We can switch seats later on. Yunbo: Sure. Dashan and I can talk. Dashan: Here, Rumei, let me help you with the bags. Rumei: Thanks, Dashan. Could you put everything in the overhead rack? Oh, would you mind giving me my sweater, please? I might be cold later on. Dashan: Sure. Anything else? Rumei: That's all for now. Thanks. Bina: Excuse me. I think I'm 15 D, next to the window. Rumei: Oh, I'm terribly sorry. Bina: That's okay. Oh, it's good to sit down. I've been rushing around all day. Are you going to Vancouver? Rumei: Yes, I am. How about you? Bina: Uhhuh, and then on to Victoria. I'm going to visit my daughter. She's got a new baby boy. Rumei: Oh, congratulations. You must be very happy. Bina: Yes, I am. Have you been to Vancouver before? Rumei: Yes, I have. I was in Vancouver about a month ago. I started my trip across Canada there. Bina: Oh, so you've been travelling around the country. That's wonderful. Have you been enjoying yourself? Rumei: Yes, I love travelling and seeing different places. Everything has been so interesting. And everyone has been so kind. Bina: By the way, where are you from? Rumei: From China. How about you? Bina: Oh, I'm from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I'm Canadian of East Indian descent. Rumei: That's interesting. Bina: Yes, I was born in India, but I've lived in Canada since I was two years old. What city are you from in China? Rumei: Beijing, the capital. Bina: You're a long way from home. Are you travelling alone? Rumei: No, I'm travelling with my husband and a friend. They're sitting over there. Bina: You know, I've been to China. Rumei: Really? Bina: Yes, my husband and I went there about ten years ago. He loved to travel. Rumei: Is your husband travelling with you now? Bina: No. Unfortunately, he passed away last year. Rumei: Oh, I'm very sorry. Bina: That's all right. He was sick for a long time. Yunbo: Sorry to interrupt. But Rumei, have you seen my newspaper? Rumei: It might be in the white plastic bag. I think you gave me the paper at the train station. Yunbo: Oh, that's right. I'll look there. Rumei: Oh, Yunbo... I'm sorry. I forgot your name. Bina: That's all right. It's Bina Kapoor. Nice to meet you, Yunbo. You must be Rumei's husband. Yunbo: Yes, I am. It's nice to meet you , too. By the way, Rumei, what time do you want to eat dinner? We can eat at 6 or 7:30. Rumei: What time is it now? Yunbo: 5:25.
