Elevator conversation

In Taiwan: a nice older lady gets on the elevator. Conversation in Chinese (strangers often speak to each other in elevators there):

Older Lady: Have you eaten yet? 
Me: oh yes, I've eaten
OL: Eat more fruits and vegetables
Me: What about you, have you eaten yet?
OL: I'm going to go buy bread

I think that the amount of time to see both places was about right since our itinerary was already pretty full, but it wouldn't have been boring to stay longer either. One reason I finally decided to go this time is because my dad was also back in Taiwan and he drove us. ...
