A: How was your trip?
B: Great. Really amazing. Have you ever been there?
A: No. What’s it like?
B: It’s really wild. It took me by surprise, actually.
A: Yeah?
B: Yeah. I don’t know what I expected, really. I just thought it’d be quieter, but the nightlife is totally insane.
A: Really?
B: Honestly. We went out with these people and ended up in a place at about four in the morning and it was absolutely packed.
A: Yeah?
