So, where should be go on a vocation?

What about Africa?

Africa? No, that's not for me.

Why do you want to go to Africa?

I'd like to get out and see the wildlife, the drama of nature.

We could see some of the great migrations.

Wow, you are an adventurer.

What about food and diseases?

What about terrorism?

Sure, something bad could happen, but if we never take any risks we won't have an interesting life.

I don't want to have a boring life.

（He's concerned about food diseases and terrorism.）

（She is willing to take some risks to avoid having a boring life.）

So, you think I'm boring then, right?

Well, you are certainly not the most exciting person.

You play things safe and secure.

I don't mind taking a few risks, but it's got to be worth it.

Watching animals migrate is something I can see in a documentary.

And I don't like the idea of being around predators like lions and hyenas.

OK, my brave man.

What would you like to do?

Well, I've been thinking about it.

I think it would be nice to go to Paris in the fall and visit some museums.

We could go to a concert and maybe see a ballet.

Uh, We've been to Paris before.

There's nothing exciting about it and I'm tired of museums.

（She thinks his suggestion isn't very exciting.）

（He is willing to take a few risks, but only if it's worth it.）

Any other ideas?

One place that might be interesting is in south America, Machu Picchu.

It's an abandoned city way up in the mountains of Peru.

Yes, I've heard of it.

That might be interesting.

Should we look into it?

Sure, you look into it, and I'll get some information about trips to Africa.

So, your heart is really set on Africa, isn't it?

Yes, it really is.

I need something exciting in my life now.

All I do is work and be with you.

I need a change. Don't you ever feel that way?

OK, I hear you.

Let's go to Africa.

And don't blame me if you get sick along the way.

Great, you are not so bad after all.

I can always depend on you.

Be careful. Maybe one of these days I'll surprise you.
