| Cultural Insight |
| Michael: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Dewan: You are welcome to ask when someone is leaving if their trip ends the following day, but it would be a bit rude to ask if they are still at the party and having fun. It is common for friends to drive together and share a car, so you might need to ask. |
