1Hello?
2Hi, good morning, this is Talia from Parrot Bay Travel Agency.
3Is Robert Goddard there?
4Yes, speaking.
5I'm so sorry that I made such an early phone call,
6and I'm calling to ask a few questions about your most recent vacation.
7Could I have five minutes of your time?
8Sure thing.
9Great, thanks.
10Now, I see here that you visited Melbourne.
11Was this your first visit to Melbourne?
12No, I have actually been there twice before.
13I see.
14Now, what would you say was your favorite part about Melbourne?
15Well, I did like seeing the exotic wildlife,
16and there are great sites to see,
17but I have to say I was most impressed by the amazing weather.
18Yeah, the weather there is amazing.
19Which of the sites listed as part of our official tour did you see,
20and of those, which was your favorite?
21First I saw the theatre, which was beautifully designed.
22It was not nearly as cool as the Town Hall though -
23the building is a huge part of Melbourne's history.
24Definitely my favourite.
25I saw the aquarium too, but wasn't too impressed.
26I see.
27Yes, people often have great reviews of Town Hall.
28Now I would like to ask you about your dining experience.
29Did you enjoy the food there?
30Absolutely, I loved it!
31I'm glad to hear it.
32Could you tell me a little bit about what you most enjoyed about the food?
33Being such an international city, I loved the variety -
34I could find any type of food I wanted.
35Whether I wanted seafood, burgers, or anything else, you name it and they had it.
36Did you drive to Melbourne?
37No, I flew.
38I thought about going by train,
39but in the interest of time I decided to go by plane.
40Right, I see.
41And would you mind telling me whether you are under 20,
42between the ages of 20 and 40, or older than 40?
43Er, it would be nice if I were still under 20.
44My vacation probably would have been quite different.
45Actually though, I just turned 41 last week.
46Oh, happy birthday!
47So did you treat yourself and fly first class?
48Ha! No way.
49I would love to have a budget that high.
50I'm more in the mid-range income level.
51I wasn't always though - I spent much of my life in a low-income household.
52I see.
53That answers my next question then, of income level.
54And what was the purpose of this visit?
55I had to go there on business a lot before and decided I would go there for tourism this time.
56I see.
57And what is your occupation?
58I am mainly a computer programmer.
59I also write for a travel magazine on the side,
60which is why I visited Melbourne before,
61but it's not my main source of income.
62I see.
63Wow, it sounds like you work a lot!
64Yes, I am very busy,
65which is exactly why I took a nice week-long vacation to Melbourne.
66I completely agree.
67Would you care to comment on your accommodation?
68My hotel was a good value.
69Staying in the city can get really expensive,
70so it was nice to find such a good price for the location and quality.
71I'm glad I didn't end up in some cheap motel in the middle of nowhere.
72I'm glad you didn't either.
73Well, thank you for taking part in our survey,
74and I'm glad you enjoyed your vacation!
75No problem. Take care!
