Todd: So, Eli, can you talk a little about England and maybe about it's climate and it's weather, it's leaders, what people eat?
 
Eli: Well, I'm not going to talk about leaders right now because that's a bit of a sore point but England weather, hmm, that is a bit of a sore point to. It's not the greatest weather in the world, especially compared to Japan where I am now, which the weather I just love. England is always cold, almost always cold even through the summer it's quite cold I hear. This summer it's been sort of jacket weather all summer with only a few days of sunshine and it rains a lot, so it's pretty miserable1 as far as weather's concerned.
 
Todd: Now, you're from Bristol right. What's your hometown like?
 
Eli: Bristol's a great town. I used to live in London which is the capital of England and it's very gray and big and unfriendly but when I moved to Bristol it was just great. It is a city but it's a very small city so you can always bump2 into your friends, um, always meet people. It's got big green areas. It's got a place called the downs which is a big park, and it's the architecture3 of the city is very old. It's very near Bath, which is a very famous old Roman town, where the Roman baths were, so all the sort of architecture of the city
the houses, all of it's very pretty.
 
Todd: OK. What are the Downs like? You said the downs. Is that a park?
 
Eli: The downs. It's, it's a big area of green basically4. It's not a park as in lots of trees and trees and sort of shrubbery and stuff5. It's just a big wide spread of greenery where you can play football. I mean there's 
football matches sort of every week. You can go fly your kites. You can take your kids there. And that joins on to the Avon-gorge6, which is where the Bristol suspension7 bridge is, which is very famous as being I think the first ever suspension bridge built, and from standing8 on the bridge and looking out into the gorge, I mean you'd think you're in the middle of the mountains, not in the middle of the city. It's a really pretty area.
 
Todd: Sounds like a nice place.
