　　Todd: Hello Michael.

　　Michael: Hello Todd.

　　Todd: We're going to talk about Australia. Or you’re going to talk about Australia. So first of all how many people live in Australia?

　　Michael: Australia? Oh, there are about twenty million people in Australia right now. A little bit under, but close to twenty.

　　Todd: OK. What are the biggest cities?

　　Michael: The biggest city? The biggest city is Sydney, then it's followed by Melbourne and then Brisbane and then I think it's Perth. But most of the big cities are on the East Coast of Australia. And Perth is on the west coast, but sort of out there by itself.

　　Todd: OK. Um, if you had to live in one place where would you live?

　　Michael: I like Brisbane. I had my teenage years in Brisbane, growing up in Brisbane, um or maybe Sidney because it is a big city, but Brisbane has got the gold coast and the sunshine.

　　Todd: Oh, nice. Actually, what is the capital city of Australia?

　　Michael: Ah, Canberra is the capital city, but is not the biggest city. Sydney is the biggest city. Canberra was made sort of by the politicians so Sydney wouldn't get too crowded. It's a separate territory.

　　Todd: Have you been to all the major cities in Australia?

　　Michael: I have been to Melbourne when I was young, but yeah, I have only a short time in Perth.

　　Todd: OK. What is the best thing about Australia?

　　Michael: The best thing about Australia? Ah, probably the friendly people. The relaxed attitude and we like visitors from other cultures.

　　Todd: Oh, cool. Ah, how are Australians different than other people? How are they unique?

　　Michael: How are Australians unique? Um, I would say that we're ah more fun-loving maybe or excepting of other people. And we don't mind making new friends and actually and conversing with other people.

　　Todd: Yeah, oh yeah that's good. That's nice. OK. Thanks a lot Michael.

　　Michael: No worries.

　　Japanese Culture 日本文化

　　Reiko: Ikebana, it's an art of flowers and it's quite different from Western style flower arrangement because in Ikebana's theory you can decorate one flower, only with one flower.

　　Anili: Oh, really!

　　Reiko: And it's, the flower arrangement in Japan is not only decorating flowers but it's an art with flowers and space.

　　Anili: I see.

　　Reiko: The air between the flowers and also the room, and everything, it shows the space or even the universe, and that.

　　Anili: What's another Japanese art?

　　Reiko: Japanese art? Mm, Ikebana! Tea Ceremony!

　　Anili: Tea Ceremony!

　　Reiko: Tea Ceremony!

　　Anili: Tea Ceremony! Tell me about Tea Ceremony.

　　Reiko: Tea Ceremony! It's, there's a certain way you have to make tea, not only make tea, there's a certain way to for example wipe a bowl.

　　Anili: I see.

　　Reiko: Yes, with one piece of cloth, and you need to learn how to fold the cloth so that you use each part of the cloth only once to wipe the bowl

　　Anili: OK.

　　Reiko: Yeah, so it's a complicated traditional procedure in a sense but.

　　Anili: How do you learn that? Is that something that your mother would teach you? How do people learn that?

　　Reiko: There are some professionals for both flower arrangement and tea ceremony. So you need to go to a school, yes, and learn from your teacher and their hierarchy and the organization and you need to pass each test to go, climb up the ladder in the hierarchy.

　　Anili: I see. Fantastic.

　　Todd: OK, Ann, you spent quite a bit of time in Australia recently so why don't you talk about that?

　　Ann: I really liked living in Australia. I was an international student and I studied education at the University of Sydney. And living in Sydney was fantastic because I could go to the beach anytime I wanted and there was a great nightlife in Sydney. There are lots of great clubs. And people were very, very friendly and easy-going and I met a lot of international people in living Sydney.

　　Todd: Mm-nm. How long were you there?

　　Ann: I was there for almost a year.

　　Todd: Oh, OK.

　　Ann: And I travelled a little bit in Australia. I went up the east coast. Up to Frasier Island, this is a world heritage site. And I saw dingos running along the beach and sharks in the water. We climbed cliffs and went through a rain forest and went camping and then we went up to the, which is a but north. And the further north you go in Australia, the hotter it gets. So we were able to go swimming in the ocean and I went diving for the first time but it was a little bit risky cause I didn't have a diving license, so I went on an introductory dive and I saw a giant clam that had a really purple spongy inside that I was able to touch and then the clam closed up really quickly.

　　Todd: So, did you, did you lose your finger?

　　Ann: Almost.

　　Todd: Almost. Ah, you're lucky. Um, it's funny, you go in the water and you worry about sharks but not clams.

　　Ann: Exactly.

　　Todd: Will you be going back to Australia soon?

　　Ann: I'd like to go and live there for at least another year. Probably I'll go back to Sydney or maybe I'll go down to Melbourne because it's a really interesting cultural city. They have lot of museums and parks.

　　Todd: OK. You gotta choose real quickly, only one city, Montreal or Sydney, which do you choose?

　　Ann: Sydney, without a doubt.

　　Todd: OK. Alright. Thanks a lot.

　　Ann: You're welcome.
