A: G’day!
B: Oh, hello.
B: I’m trying to get to Queen Victoria Market, but my Google map is not working.
A: It’s not too far from here. I can walk you there if you like – I’m heading there as well.
B: I’m sorry?
B: Coffee in Korea is good too, but Melbourne’s coffee is like, it’s too good!
B: Aussie barbie?
A: Yeah, it’s usually done outdoors. You get different types of grilled meat, booze …
B: I’m going to Aussie barbie tomorrow, so I need to buy some meat at the market.
A: Tomorrow arvo?
B: I’m sorry?
A: Wonderful! Don’t forget your brolly and sunnies. Melbourne’s weather can be crazy.
B: Oh, it’s so crazy. Yesterday was hot during the daytime but so cold at night.
A: That’s Melbourne for ya. Bring a cardie too in case it gets cold.
B: Yes, very cold. Wintertime in Seoul, the temperature can go to ten degrees below zero.
A: That’s bonkers! Well, a nice hot cuppa will sure do the trick.
A: Absolute pleasure. You have a good one, alright? And have fun at the barbie tomorrow.
A: Ta!
