Justin: Let me help you with that.

Yavor: Oh thanks.

Justin: So where are you from?

Yavor: I’m from Bulgaria.

Justin: Ahh. What brought you to the States?

Yavor: I was working in the European office. I had been there five years, so I asked for a transfer and here I am.

Justin: Sounds like a great opportunity. What kind of work are you doing here?

Yavor: For now I’m still in training. But in a couple of weeks I’ll be joining the finance department.

Justin: How do you like living here so far?

Yavor: It’s great. Everyone is so friendly. People call each other by their first names. Where I come from things are much more formal.

Justin: That’s interesting. I never thought of it like that.

Coworker: Hey Justin! How’s it going?

Justin: Great!

Yavor: See what I mean.
