I heard you’re flying to Germany next month.
That’s true. I’m going with mom and dad to visit my brother there. He’s got a permanent residency visa. My sister-in-law is German, by the way.

Cool. You might as well tour around while you’re there. I went on a fellowship in Berlin two years ago. The metropolitan areas and the countryside are equally breathtaking.
So I’ve heard from my brother’s stories. I’ve only been there once for three days, and I deeply regret how I never get to see places like the Black Forest and the King’s Lake.

Well, don’t forget my souvenirs.
Of course, I won’t. See you in a month, Ron.
