Excuse me, sir.

Could you tell me where I can find the nearest coffee shop?

I'm sorry, but I don't think we have met before. May I know your name?

My name is Maria and I am here on business trip.

I see, what brings you to Prague?

I am working as a manager for a pharmaceutical company based in the United States.

Wow, that's impressive! How long have you been in this field?

I have been working in this industry for over 30 years now.

That's amazing! You must be very experienced and knowledgeable about it.

Yes, I am. But today has not been a good day at work.

I am sorry to hear that. What happened?

Well, one of my employees made a mistake which could have cost us millions of dollars. Thankfully we were able to catch it in time but I was still very angry with him.

I understand. It's always frustrating when things don't go as planned at work.

Yes, exactly! But I guess that's just part of the job.

Speaking of job, what brings you to Prague?

Well, I am here on a business trip as well.

Oh really? What company do you work for?

I work for a tech startup based in San Francisco. We are currently expanding into Europe and Prague seems like a great place to start.

That's interesting! How is your experience so far here in Prague?

Honestly, it has been quite overwhelming. I am not used to this kind of atmosphere yet. But I guess everything will fall into place soon enough.

I hope so. Well, thank you for talking to me. It was nice meeting you, Maria.

Nice meeting you too!
