Episode 108: Sight-seeing

Helen:	The guidebook says ‘The Eiffel Tower weighs 7,300 tons and is 324 metres tall’.
Alice:	Really?
Helen:	Yes, but who cares about the facts and figures, let’s go up!
Alice:	Up there? Oh it’s so much nicer seeing it from the ground. Tell me more about this fascinating piece of architecture.
Helen:	Mmh, let’s see, ‘The tower can sway up to 7 centimetres in the wind.’
Alice:	Oh no! I’m definitely not going up now.
Helen:	You can’t come to Paris and not go up the Eiffel Tower.
Alice:	Just watch me!
Helen:	You’re not scared, are you Alice?
Alice:	The technical term is acrophobia, if you must know.
Helen:	Oh come on, take my hand. We’ll go up slowly, I promise.
Alice:	No!
