12 International Business Travel


Dialogue 1


A: I hear you're being sent to Madrid for the annual conference. Is that right?


B: Yes, it would be my first trip overseas. Actually, it's going to be my first time leaving the country.


A: Are you serious? You haven't even been anywhere on vacation?


B: No, I have never vacationed anywhere exotic. But even if I don't get a chance to travel on my personal time, at least I can travel on company time!


A: Well, being able to go to the conference sounds like such a great opportunity. Have you applied 1 at the embassy for a visa yet?


B: Yes, it wasn't too hard to get. All I had to do was fill out the paperwork and pay the application fee.


A: You leave next Tuesday, right? What time is your flight?


B: My flight departs at 7 am. I have everything except for my luggage ready.


A: If your flight is leaving so early, I can take you to the airport and see you off. I'll still be able to make it into the office by 9.


B: That would be great! Thanks a lot!


Dialogue 2


A: How were things in the Tokyo branch when you were there?


B: Good! They have expanded and are doing better than they were last quarter. It's nice to see some improvement for a change.


A: Do you see the trend continuing over the next few months?


B: Yes, especially with so many of our executives going back and forth 2 from here to Japan. The only problem is, they may have trouble when they go to open up business here.


A: Why would you say that?


B: They aren't too familiar with doing business outside of Japan. There are a lot of cultural differences to account for.


A: I'll say! Sometimes they just do things really differently. But one thing I can say, they are really hospitable 3.


B: Have you ever been to Japan?


A: Sure! I just got back yesterday. I'm still suffering from jet lag.
