David:
 Hi. Are you the exchange student from the Philippines? My name is David. Nice to meet you.
John:
 Hi, David. Yes, I am. My name is John. Nice to meet you too. Actually, it is my first time here in Japan.
David:
 Really? I hope you enjoy your stay here in Japan. I have read a lot of interesting things about the Philippines, but I have never been there. What is your hometown in the Philippines?
John:
 My hometown is Cebu City. It is the fifth largest city in the Philippines. Also, it is one of the cities with the biggest population of foreigners living in the Philippines. Foreigners usually work in commercial offices, study English, or teach foreign languages in universities.
David:
 Wow. That’s interesting. In Japan, the population is not that big, but more and more foreigners are moving in each year. Anyway, it is almost 12:00 p.m. Would you like to have lunch with me later? Since we are talking about food, I heard that Filipino food is delicious. What do you think is the most famous Filipino food?
John:
 Sure. Let’s have lunch together. I think the most famous Filipino food is Adobo. It is pork or chicken stew with garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar. We usually eat it with rice. By the way, I will prepare my things first, then we can go to the cafeteria.
At the cafeteria
David:
 I recommend you to try this sushi, John. It is the most famous food here in Japan. What do you have for lunch?
John:
 Wow. It is my second time to eat sushi, but I think yours is really delicious. I have pork adobo for lunch. Here, have some.
David:
 Thanks, John. It really tastes great. My mother made that sushi. She works at a restaurant in Tokyo, my hometown. You may have two more pieces if you want.
John:
 Thank you, David. I would like to go around Tokyo with you next time. What beautiful places can foreigners visit in Tokyo?
David:
 Sure. We should go around as early as 7:00 a.m. so that we can visit the Tokyo Tower and some art galleries in Shibuya, a city in Tokyo.
John:
 I love art galleries. Last year, I also visited two art galleries in Baguio, a famous city in the Philippines. I hope you can visit the Philippines soon.
