Karen: Hi, Steve. You look so deep in your thoughts. What’s the matter with you?
Steve: Oh, hi, Karen. It’s so good that I have met you. I have been looking for you, actually.
Karen: Why? What’s up?
Steve: Remember I decided to take part in the exchange program?
Karen: Yes, of course.
Steve: So, I’ll spend the next term in Russia. It’s going to be a city somewhere in the central part of Russia. It’s called Kirov, but the locals call it Vyatka.
Karen: Congratulations! I was an AFS student in Russia too, where I stayed in Kazan. In fact, it’s not that far from Kirov, I believe. We should look at the map.
Steve: That’s great, Karen. I do hope you can give me some useful tips on my future trip.
Karen: I’ll be only happy to help you. What would you like to know?
Steve: As far as I understand, I don’t have to worry about how I will get to my destination, am I right?
Karen: Yes, you are. You’ll be met at the airport in Moscow, and there will be a transfer to Kirov. Your accommodation is already settled upon, if I’m not mistaken.
Steve: Yes, I’m going to stay with a family with two kids. One of them is my age and I’m going to study in the same class with him.
Karen: I think that’s very convenient. He may sit next to you and help you when you need it. This way, you’ll get used to your new life much quicker.
Steve: What about clothes? Should I pack warm clothes?
Karen: Oh, winters are harsh there. I strongly advise you take a lot of warm clothes and footwear.
Steve: Okay. Will my mobile phone work there?
Karen: It will work fine, but I had to change the operator to save my money. It was cheaper that way. I think your host family will help you there.
Steve: Okay. Did you have to use public transport?
Karen: Well, I got to school by a city bus. I found public transport in Russia to be quite good, rather cheap, and easy to use…though sometimes overcrowded.
Steve: Did you use the taxi service at all?
Karen: Sometimes. It’s not that expensive.
Steve: Okay. Is there anything else I need to know?
Karen: Let me think… You will need a converter with you for your electrical items.
Steve: Thank you. Now I feel much better about my upcoming adventure.
Karen: Don’t worry, you’ll be fine. You’ll enjoy it — believe me.
Steve: I hope so. Look, I’ve got to go. See you later.
Karen: Bye!
