Junyong: Hello there! These pewter cutlery sets look absolutely stunning.

Klaus: Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad you like them. Are you interested in purchasing some?

Junyong: Actually, I’ve been considering buying a new set for a while now. The craftsmanship of these pieces is truly impressive. How did you come to showcase them here in Seoul?

Klaus: Well, it’s quite interesting, actually. Our company has been expanding its market internationally, and Korea seemed like an excellent opportunity. I’m visiting Korea for the first time, and I must say, I’m fascinated by the vibrant culture and the warm hospitality.

Junyong: That’s wonderful to hear. I hope you have a good time here. Is there anything specific you’re looking forward to seeing or trying during your visit?

Klaus: I really want to visit Myeongdong and try out some of the food. I’ve heard so much about it. Do you have any recommendations?

Junyong: You really should try out Takalbi – I think everyone whop tries it likes it. Oh, by the way, speaking of travel, I’m actually planning a trip to Munich next month.

Klaus: That’s quite a coincidence! Munich is my home town. Are you just visiting Munich?

Junyong: I’ll be visiting Munich and Berlin.

Klaus: I can tell you where the best local places to visit and eat are. Let’s exchange contact details, and we can meet up when you’re in Germany.

Junyong: Great!

(They exchange contact details and chat a bit more)

Klaus: It’s been a pleasure talking to you. I have to attend to some other customers now, but I look forward to seeing you soon in Germany. Safe travels!

Junyong: Likewise, Klaus! Thank you for your warm hospitality and for sharing your knowledge about your beautiful country. I’ll be in touch. Auf Wiedersehen!
