Coffee break

Time to pig One day a visitor from the city came to a small rural area to drive around the country roads, see how the farms looked, and perhaps to see how farmers earned their living. The city man saw a farmer in his yard, holding a pig up in his hands, and lifting it so that the pig could eat apples from an apple tree. The city man said to the farmer," I see that your pig likes apples, but isn"t that quite a waste of time?" The farmer replied," What"s time to a pig?"

I'll arrive late, but please keep my reservation. I made a reservation in Taipei. My name is Wang Ming-Ming. I'd like a quiet room. I'd like a room on the upper level. I'd like a room with a nice view (a balcony). Is hot water available any time? May I see the room? Do you have anything bigger (better/cheaper)? I'll take this room.
