W: Yes, it's more expensive than here. M: Do you find it easy to talk to people here? Can you make friends easily? W: Oh, yes. It's easy to meet people here, even if we speak different languages. People are the same everywhere. They worry about the same things. They worry about the cost of living and about the future of their children. M: Yes, you are dead right.
