I have been researching some of the best places to visit in Australia recently. Sounds interesting - and what did your research find? Where are the best places?  Sydney seems to have a lot of attractions that are fairly close together.  And some nice beaches.  So I think that's where I'm heading.  How are the language classes coming along?  Is it easier to write it or speak it? I've never been to Sydney but I would love to go. There and New Zealand are top of my travel list. Do you know when you'll go to Sydney? Have you saved enough money for the trip yet? The classes are alright, it's SO much easier to speak, I'm hoping writing follows fairly soon.  I'm thinking this Summer if I can get time off of work.  That will give me a little more time to save up.  I think another $1k will do the trick.  I saw a documentary on Japanese writing.  It looks so complicated.  Good luck!!  Do you think you'll go to New Zealand on vacation this year? That sounds like a good plan. Where is it you work again? Are they likely to give you the time off? It's hard work and tricky to learn but I'm getting there slowly. I'm not in a rush to learn which makes it easier for me. I'm hoping to be able to go to New Zealand, like you it will just come down to how busy things are at work.  I work in a local bank in town.  They'll give me the time off no problem.  It's just that the other person who's in the same position will be going on maternity leave so we need to discuss scheduling first.  How did your team do last week?  I got caught up in the new Lupin tv show and forgot to watch the game Thats fab that they are really accommodating, my work is much less relaxed with holiday leave. Scheduling is important, things need to flow while you are away. Yeah good, we won the game so pretty chuffed! I haven't seen Lupin, do you recommend it? Go team!  Maybe your team will make it into the playoffs this year.  It's an entertaining show.  But I have to watch each episode twice!  I play it in French so I can brush up on my skills and put the subtitles in English.  Conversational French is harder than the classroom!  Sorry to hear about your office.  Where do you work? That would be awesome, and the first time we've managed to get into the playoffs. Even thinking about it makes me excited. That's such a good idea, I might try watching it in Japanese, good tip! Absolutely, I find real conversation is very fast in comparison to the classroom. I work in an Architects office, and we've been very busy recently so taking time off isn't really an option. That's a fantastic job.  I would have loved to major in it but I'm not that imaginative with design.  How did you get started in the field?  Did you like drawing as kid? It's creative than you might think! Lots of budgeting, forms and admin. I have been working there for around 10 years, I always loved art but was hopeless at almost everything else at school. So it seemed like the natural profession to go into.
