C: Neriza, have you been waiting here for a while? I parked the car somewhere far.
N: No problem, Cindy. I just arrived because there’s a long queue at the exit of the station.
C: Do you remember the Expo 2005 in Aichi prefecture?
N: The queue was long at the stall for young coconut, we endured it!
C: It was worth it because the fresh young coconut is delicious!
N: The Expo gives me a sense of nostalgia because I remember my late aunt, Tia Liling! She was assigned to the Expo 70 in Suita City.
C: With your length of stay here, you must have been to the other Expo.
N: Yes, of course!
