Todd: OK. Hello!

Jamie: Hi!

Todd: Hi! Can you introduce yourself, please?

Jamie: My name is Jamie. I'm living here in Japan, and I'm from Canada.

Todd: OK. Where are you from in Canada?

Jamie: Vancouver, Canada, British Columbia.

Todd: Oh, nice. Were you born there?

Jamie: I was born in British Columbia, in Victoria.

Todd: OK.

Jamie: But I spent my adult working life in Vancouver and Japan.

Todd: OK. How long have you been in Japan?

Jamie: Let's see, four years right now, and a grand total of six years.

Todd: Wow. How much longer do you plan to stay in Japan?

Jamie: That's a good question. I ask myself that on a daily basis.

Todd: Yeah. Yeah. Me, too. OK. So we'll go ahead and pass on that one.... What do you think about Canada?

Jamie: Canada is a great place. It's a..you know being Canadian of course. I'm pretty, fairly nationalistic about it, but it's not a perfect place, obviously. A lot of high taxes. Not always the job that you want is available but ultimately it's, you know, it's a pretty good place.

Todd: OK. So when you get gray and old, is Canada the place you'll settle down in?

Jamie: Settle down, that's kind of a hard call as well, but I certainly think of Canada as being a place I'd like to, I'd like to take it easy on a regular basis.

Todd: OK. Great. Thanks a lot, Jamie.

Jamie: OK. My Pleasure.
