Paul I can't believe it I haven't seen you  since that reunion we had do you remember

Frank of course I remember it's good  to see you my friend how are you

as you can see an excellent I got  a good job I have more free time

good to know I didn't know your son studied  here too in fact I didn't know you had a son

oh but when was the last time we talked  huh I think it was five years ago right  

I think so what happens is that I  don't usually come here to the school

Deborah my wife usually comes to pick up  my son from school I work every day so

poor of you it must be difficult when  was the last time you went on vacation

um it was last year we go on  vacation every year once a year

once a year did you know I started my own business

yeah I heard that congratulations  I think it was a great decision bro

of course it was it was the best  decision I could take it's just amazing

well due to that I could travel to different  countries and went on vacation many times

I don't have to ask for permission or plan my  vacations if I want to go I just go and that's it

I think that's great and where did  you go on vacation I'd like to know

where I didn't go I travel  to Europe Asia Africa America

wow but where did you go on your  last trip an interesting country

all the countries I visit are interesting my  friend last year I went to France it was amazing  

France I've never gone there  people say it's an amazing country

it is I went last year I visited many  beautiful places when I was there

I arrived at the Paris de gallo  airport they treated me very well

obviously I flew first class I always do people  say it's expensive but it's nothing for me  

it only cost ten thousand dollars really  cheap did you also take a first class flight  

no I didn't I took the regular flight I  couldn't afford that it's too much money

remember I have three children and that could  be like fifty thousand dollars impossible

I know I know you're poor it happens  because you have many children

well in fact I'm happy I love my children  and they love me so that's okay for me

if you say so by the way where did you  go on vacation if I'm allowed to ask

sure we went to India it was  amazing the food was delicious

we ate something called Robin Rush it's  one of the best dishes I've ever tried

that sounds weird when I travel  I only eat hard Cuisine dishes

when I was in Paris I only ate baguette  Cross Sound special cheese Parisian honey

anyway everything was very expensive  but delicious the best food

and of course I drunk it's a special drinks  a dirty Margarita or a dumb perion wine  

but I suppose you don't know much about them  I will bring some of these drinks someday

oh thank you when I was in India I drank  a delicious tea there are different types

the most popular and delicious for me  was the Masala chai without any doubt

they made it with cardamom black  pepper cinnamon cloves and Ginger  

few ingredients but the flavor was amazing and  the best part was that it was a cheap drink

I don't remember well but we paid just some  dollars for five cups of chai tea isn't that great  

and also people are very friendly  loved their culture it's just fantastic

we bought colorful souvenirs such  as clothes Rings hats and cups

yeah it sounds good but I suppose you didn't  enjoy that trip much because of your family

or what do you mean I don't understand why  couldn't I enjoy my trip because of my family

because you went with your family  you had to be with them all the time

yeah so what is that a problem I  really don't understand what you mean

no it's nothing and when was the last  time you went to a party I want to know

to be honest I don't remember  well oh yeah we went last month

one of my wife's friends had a birthday  so she invited us we bought a present

we didn't know it was gonna be a  big party but it was it was crazy

we danced the whole night we sang  many songs karaoke it was funny

oh come on that's not a real party  didn't you drink alcohol and got drunk

or no I used to do that when  I was single but not anymore

I don't like that now I love spending  good time with my family I can't get drunk

you see that's not funny  you're not free you are a slave

a slave no I mean I can get drunk if  I want but I don't I'm fine like this  

if you say so and when was the last  time you went out with your friends

with my friends well I don't see my friends  very often I just play soccer with them

and about my friends from  school you are one of them

you must know I have many friends  I go out with them every Friday

that's only one of the advantages of  not having children but you don't know

oh I didn't know you don't have any children  I suppose you were waiting for your son here

son no I don't have any children I'm  just waiting for my nephew that's it

I don't want to have any children I couldn't  enjoy my life if I did that impossible

oh I get it now Frank I know you're  happy to be single and not have children

and that's okay I mean it's your  decision and I respect that but

there's not just one way to be happy my  friend you can have children get married or  

be single or go to the parties every day  and that would also be okay believe me

you decided not to get married and that's amazing  I decided to get married and have children

and that's amazing too I enjoy every single  day with my family I love them so much

feelings are probably different but the important  thing is to enjoy life does not matter how  

I don't need to get drunk to be happy or  I don't need to go out every Fridays no

but that's just my case it's not yours and it's  fine again the important is to be happy right

no no no that's not true how can  you be happy living like that

I don't accept that life is better without  children without a wife or those responsibilities  

yeah for you maybe but not for me and  that's okay we don't have to think alike

when was the last time you talked to a  friend about your life about your feelings

I don't do that I am happy like this  life's short and we need to enjoy it

I think I have to go and it was good to see  you I will go and meet my friends to have fun

all right take care that was weird anyway
