| Hello? |
| Hi, good morning, this is Talia from Parrot Bay Travel Agency. |
| Is Robert Goddard there? |
| Yes, speaking. |
| I'm so sorry that I made such an early phone call, |
| and I'm calling to ask a few questions about your most recent vacation. |
| Could I have five minutes of your time? |
| Sure thing. |
| Great, thanks. |
| Now, I see here that you visited Melbourne. |
| Was this your first visit to Melbourne? |
| No, I have actually been there twice before. |
| I see. |
| Now, what would you say was your favorite part about Melbourne? |
| Well, I did like seeing the exotic wildlife, |
| and there are great sites to see, |
| but I have to say I was most impressed by the amazing weather. |
| Yeah, the weather there is amazing. |
| Which of the sites listed as part of our official tour did you see, |
| and of those, which was your favorite? |
| First I saw the theatre, which was beautifully designed. |
| It was not nearly as cool as the Town Hall though - |
| the building is a huge part of Melbourne's history. |
| Definitely my favourite. |
| I saw the aquarium too, but wasn't too impressed. |
| I see. |
| Yes, people often have great reviews of Town Hall. |
| Now I would like to ask you about your dining experience. |
| Did you enjoy the food there? |
| Absolutely, I loved it! |
| I'm glad to hear it. |
| Could you tell me a little bit about what you most enjoyed about the food? |
| Being such an international city, I loved the variety - |
| I could find any type of food I wanted. |
| Whether I wanted seafood, burgers, or anything else, you name it and they had it. |
| Did you drive to Melbourne? |
| No, I flew. |
| I thought about going by train, |
| but in the interest of time I decided to go by plane. |
| Right, I see. |
| And would you mind telling me whether you are under 20, |
| between the ages of 20 and 40, or older than 40? |
| Er, it would be nice if I were still under 20. |
| My vacation probably would have been quite different. |
| Actually though, I just turned 41 last week. |
| Oh, happy birthday! |
| So did you treat yourself and fly first class? |
| Ha! No way. |
| I would love to have a budget that high. |
| I'm more in the mid-range income level. |
| I wasn't always though - I spent much of my life in a low-income household. |
| I see. |
| That answers my next question then, of income level. |
| And what was the purpose of this visit? |
| I had to go there on business a lot before and decided I would go there for tourism this time. |
| I see. |
| And what is your occupation? |
| I am mainly a computer programmer. |
| I also write for a travel magazine on the side, |
| which is why I visited Melbourne before, |
| but it's not my main source of income. |
| I see. |
| Wow, it sounds like you work a lot! |
| Yes, I am very busy, |
| which is exactly why I took a nice week-long vacation to Melbourne. |
| I completely agree. |
| Would you care to comment on your accommodation? |
| My hotel was a good value. |
| Staying in the city can get really expensive, |
| so it was nice to find such a good price for the location and quality. |
| I'm glad I didn't end up in some cheap motel in the middle of nowhere. |
| I'm glad you didn't either. |
| Well, thank you for taking part in our survey, |
| and I'm glad you enjoyed your vacation! |
| No problem. Take care! |
