Todd: So, Mark, I heard that you are going to be leaving Tokyo pretty soon.
 
Mark: I am. I'm getting out of the city.
 
Todd: Ah, man, so when you go back to America are you going to live in a big city like Atlanta or Birmingham?
 
Mark: Well, I from Birmingham, which is a kind of medium sized city, but there's a lot of access1 to the countryside, cause Birmingham is a medium sized city but Alabama is very rural2, so lots of mountains, lots of countryside and I'm actually looking forward to getting into that setting3 again. 
 
Todd:Oh, man. I don't know dude. I grew up on a farm, and I lived way out in the country growing up, and I can't stand the country now.
 
Mark: Really.
 
Todd: Yeah. I've lived in big cities: San Francisco, London, Bangkok, Tokyo.
 
Mark:But don't you miss like the, you know, fresh air, and the views. Don't you just tired of concrete4 jungles5, and buildings and.
 
Todd: Ah, that's true. I mean, when you're in the country, you have fresh air and you do have, you know, the beauty6, and this and that, but it's just boring. It's the same five people.
 
Mark:It is true, but actually I find it's harder to meet people in a big city, because there is so many people, so you're, nobody really cares to stop and talk to you because there is a million other people around, but if you're in a town, a small town, or out in the country, the few people you do meet, you form a good relationship7 with. 
 
Todd: Yeah, that's somewhat8 true, but there's just no energy. You know the countries slow. You can't just go to any restaurant at any time, you can't, you know, go see a museum, or go see a ball game or go to a nightclub and it's a just a lot of sitting around.
 
Mark:Well, that's true and, if I do, every time I go back to the country, I always miss those things, like a museum, and you know, concerts and things like that, but I'm just able to relax so much more when I'm out in a rural setting.
 
Todd: Well, I hope you have a good time.
 
Mark: Thanks.
