Tourists come to the restaurant and ask for a table for two persons. The waiter offers a table near the window. The tourists ask if there is a menu in English, but there is only a menu in Russian. Tourists ask if it is allowed to smoke in the restaurant, and the waiter explains that they may smoke only on the terrace.
