But isn't that the point of coming to a market like this, to get a discount compared to the expensive department stores? Besides I saw a suit just like this one a few stalls down, and they were selling it for $600.

I was thinking that it might be 4 or 500. ,F: This material is imported from Italy. It's the finest in the world, and if you bought a suit made of this material at many department stores, you would pay about $2000. ,M: Uh-hah. But isn't that the point of coming to a market like this, to get a discount compared to the expensive department stores? Besides I saw a suit just like this one a few stalls down, and they were selling it for $600. I still thought that it was too expensive. ,F: It's possible that the suit you saw was the same color is this one but made of a different material.

Question: M: Would you consider buying a self-driving car? ,F: I don't know.

I'll send a radio message out to all of the security officers and have them look for him. I'm sure he's on his way right now. ,M: Great. Thank you so much for your help. Will I see you at the bar after work tonight? ,F: Yes, but a bit later. I want to get a haircut and change clothes first. ,M: Great. I'll buy you a drink if you can get Dan the Bear on stage on time.

One thing I do is that I always try to go for things in the neighborhood. So what do the locals do? Is there anything interesting?
