A: I’m going backpacking in Australia next month.
B: Seriously? That’s awesome! But do you have enough money?
A: I think I have enough for the plane ticket. I’ll be staying at cheap youth hostels and will cook my own food. I don’t think I’ll need a lot of money. Besides, it’s kind of dangerous carrying too much cash.
B: Yeah, but you still need some, just in case. Why don’t you join one of those “working holiday” programs? You can make money and travel at the same time.
A: I’ve thought about that, but just realized that I’m already too old to apply. There’s an age limit.
B: Oh well. Too bad, then. Bring me some souvenirs!
A: Sure. What would you like?
B: I don’t know. How about a bottle of sand from Bondi Beach?
A: Too much trouble. Why don’t you just come with me?
B: Yeah! Why didn’t I think of that?
