LEON: Hi Shannon - how are you settling into your new flat?
SHANNON: Really well, thanks.
LEON: You look like you're going shopping.
SHANNON: Yes, I am. My cousins are coming to stay for a couple of days, and I have to cook for them.
LEON: Well, there are plenty of places to buy food in Kite Place - it's the area by the 1harbour.
SHANNON: Oh, OK, I'll find that on the map. Thanks.
LEON: What sort of food do you need to get?
SHANNON: Well, neither of them eats meat but they both like fish.
LEON: Well, there's a really good fish market there.
SHANNON: Oh great - where is it exactly?
LEON: It's at the far end of Kite Place, so you have to go over the 2bridge and then it's on the right.
SHANNON: OK - is it open all day?
LEON: It doesn't close until four, but I'd recommend going earlier than that - it does run out of some things.
SHANNON: Oh, I don't want that to happen.
LEON: As long as you get there by 33.30, you should be fine. It's only 11 now, so plenty of time.
SHANNON: Right.
LEON: Do you need to buy vegetables too?
SHANNON: I do, and I want to avoid all the plastic packaging in the supermarket!
LEON: Well, there's a really nice organic shop there. Now what's it called ... it's the name of a flower. I know, it's 4'Rose'.
SHANNON: That's a nice name.
LEON: Yeah - it sells vegetables and quite a lot of other stuff.
SHANNON: And where's that?
LEON: Well, as you reach the market, you'll see a big grey building on your left - I think it used to be a warehouse. Anyway, now it's a restaurant upstairs, but the ground floor has two shops either side of the entrance and it's the one on the left.
SHANNON: That's easy enough.
LEON: You can't miss it - there's also a big 5sign on the pavement so you can look for that.
SHANNON: Fine! I guess if I need anything else, I'll have to go to the supermarket.
LEON: Yeah - you should be able to get everything you need, but there's a minibus that goes to the supermarket if you need it. It's 6purple and the number is 289.
SHANNON: Thanks, that's great.
LEON: So what do you need to get at the fish market? The salmon is always very good and the shellfish.
SHANNON: I'm going to make a curry, I think, and I need about 12 prawns for that.
LEON: They'll have plenty of those.
SHANNON: OK.
LEON: Have you ever tried 7samphire?
SHANNON: No - what's that?
LEON: It's a type of seaweed. I just ask for a handful and you fry it in butter. It's delicious!
SHANNON: Oh, I might try that - how do you spell it?
LEON: It's S-A-M-P-H-I-R-E.
SHANNON: Great - it's always good to try something different.
LEON: Yeah.
SHANNON: I'll see what beans they have in the organic shop and I think I'll get something for dessert there.
LEON: How about a mango?
SHANNON: I'm not sure - they're not always ripe. I'd prefer a 8melon - it's bigger too.
LEON: Good idea. The owner also sells a lot of spices there that you can put in a curry, and things like 9coconut.
SHANNON: Oh, that's very helpful. I'll have a look.
LEON: No problem.
SHANNON: I know bread doesn't really go with curry but I always like to have some in case.
LEON: As I said - all the bread is home-made and there's lots of variety. I like the brown bread myself.
SHANNON: Mm, sounds good.
LEON: They sell other things there too.
SHANNON: Like cakes? I love chocolate cake.
LEON: Well - not that, but they have a whole range of tarts and the best are the 10strawberry ones.
SHANNON: Perfect - hopefully I won't even have to go to the supermarket!
