Are you Ms. Zhu?

Yes. Professor Walker?

Yes. What a pleasure to meet you at last.

Oh, it's my pleasure. I'm so happy to have this opportunity to come here and talk with you in person about your study.

Study will just have to wait a while. We've prepared a room for you at our house. We'll have a swim and some lunch and then later gel down to business.

A swim? But it's winter.

You can call it winter, but the temperature was about 28 when I left the house to pick you up.

How wonderful! The temperature in Beijing was just below zero when I left the airport.

I know. I went to Peking University for four years as an undergraduate. But now you're in "the sunshine state". Give me that bag and let's get going.

We've been here five days, and we haven't seen a London fog yet.

Well, it's not the foggy season.

The fall is the real foggy season, isn't it?

Yes, the autumn.  But there really aren't any fogs anymore!

Has the weather changed that much?

No, we've learned to control the smoke.

And without smoke there's no fog?

Right.  And we've cleaned all the old monuments.
