phrase
How was the flight?

It wasn't too bad,really.
I travel quite a bit for business.

What's the most intresting place you've been to?
I'd have to say...areas in Asia.
The culture's just so different.

Oh,my friend went to Bali last month.He said it was fantastic.
Have you been there?

Actually,no.But I'd like to.Have you traveled much?

I don't get much of a chance to travel internationally for business.
But last year,I went on vacation.
