   A 서영아, 우리 몽골 진짜 가는 거지? 나 벌써 별 보는 상상하고 있어.

   Seoyeonga, uri Monggol jinjja ganeun geoji? Na beolsseo byeol boneun sangsanghago isseo.

   Seoyoung, we're really going to Mongolia, right? I'm already picturing us stargazing.

   B 가고는 싶은데, 우리 돈으로 갈 수 있나 싶어. 비행기 표만 한 사람에 오십만 원이야.

   Gagoneun sipeunde, uri doneuro gal su inna sipeo. Bihaenggi pyoman han sarame osimman woniya.

   I want to go, but I'm not sure we can afford it. The flights alone are 500,000 won each.

   A 2주나 가는 건데 그 정도는 괜찮지 않아? 문제는 지프 투어야.

   2juna ganeun geonde geu jeongdoneun gwaenchanchi ana? Munjeneun jipeu tueoya.

   We're going for two weeks, so isn't that okay? The problem is the jeep tour.

   B 맞아. 지프랑 기사님, 가이드까지 하면 하루에 이십만 원이 넘어.

   Maja. Jipeurang gisanim, gaideukkaji hamyeon harue isimman woni neomeo.

   Right. With the jeep, the driver and a guide, it's over 200,000 won a day.

   Line 4

   A 하루에? 그럼 열흘이면 이백만 원... 우리 둘이 내기엔 너무 많다.

   Harue? Geureom yeolheurimyeon ibaengman won... uri duri naegien neomu manta.

   A day? So ten days would be two million won... That's way too much for just the two of us.

   B 찾아보니까 지프 한 대에 여섯 명까지 타더라. 다른 여행자들이랑 나눠 타면 돼.

   Chajabonikka jipeu han daee yeoseot myeongkkaji tadeora. Dareun yeohaengjadeurirang nanwo tamyeon dwae.

   I looked it up, and one jeep takes up to six people. We can share it with other travellers.

   A 여섯 명이면 한 사람에 삼만 원 조금 넘네. 그럼 충분히 가능하겠다!

   Yeoseot myeongimyeon han sarame samman won jogeum neomne. Geureom chungbunhi ganeunghagetda!

   With six people, it's just over 30,000 won each. Then we can definitely do it!

   Line 7
8. 8

   B 응, 다른 사람들이랑 비용을 나누는 한 괜찮아. 근데 모르는 사람들이랑 열흘 동안 다녀도 괜찮겠어?

   Eung, dareun saramdeurirang biyongeul nanuneun han gwaenchana. Geunde moreuneun saramdeurirang yeolheul dongan danyeodo gwaenchankesseo?

   Yeah, as long as we split the cost with others, we're fine. But are you okay spending ten days with strangers?

    Yeoksi. Neoneun gachi gal saram guhago, bijaga piryohanjido hwaginhae bwa. Naneun suksorang yesan jeongnihalge.

    Knew you'd say that. You find people to go with and check whether we need visas. I'll sort out where we stay and the budget.

    A 알았어. 근데 게르에서 자는 것도 돈이 따로 들어?

    Arasseo. Geunde gereueseo janeun geotdo doni ttaro deureo?

    Okay. But does sleeping in a ger cost extra?

    Line 11

    B 게르는 투어 비용에 들어 있어. 하루 예산만 지키는 한 돈은 충분해.

    Gereuneun tueo biyonge deureo isseo. Haru yesanman jikineun han doneun chungbunhae.

    The gers are included in the tour price. As long as we stick to our daily budget, we'll have enough money.

    Dangyeonhaji. Ne ginyeompum sal donkkaji da deureo isseo. Geureonikka sseuldeeomneun geo samyeon an doenda?

    Of course. It even includes money for your souvenirs. So no buying junk, got it?
