John, it’s not very busy right now. I need to go to the post office for a minute. Can you cover for me while I’m gone? |
| John |
： |
(answering while cleaning a table): Sure. Are you going to the post office to send a letter? |
| Mary |
： |
Nope. |
| John |
： |
(curious):Oh. So you’re going to withdraw some money? |
| Mary |
： |
No again. |
| John |
： |
(thinking): OK. Let me guess. You’re going to send a package or are you...I’ve got it. You’re going to the post office to buy stamps. Am I right? |
| Mary |
： |
(proud of herself):No pe. All wrong. I’m going to change U.S. dollars and renminbi. |
| John |
： |
Don’t you need to go to a bank to change dollars and renminbi? |
| Mary |
： |
No. Haven’t you heard? You can change money at the post office too. And you can do it at any of Taiwan’s 210 post offices. It’s really convenient. |
| John |
： |
Awesome. So the next time we go abroad, we can simply go the post office and change money. We don’t have to make a special trip to the bank, right? |
| Mary |
： |
That’s right. Aren’t you going to Hong Kong next month? You know, the post office handles more than just U.S. dollars and renminbi. It also handles Hong Kong dollars, euros and Japanese yen. |
