Todd: Keren, you have talked about places you have been. Now. why don't you talk about places you want to go. Where would you like to visit?

 

Keren: Whoa! There are so many places. I'd love to go to Cuba.

 

Todd: Why Cuba?

 

Keren: I imagine it's such a unique¹ place and it probably won't be so unique for much longer, and I'd love to see what life is like there.

 

Todd: Right. So about Cuba, what is it that attracts you about Cuba? I take it, it's not baseball.

 

Keren: No! Well, part of the reason is that I can speak Spanish², so I love to practice speaking it, and it has beautiful beaches but it also has cultural³ history also. So there's lots to do there.

 

Todd: OK, now, I think you actually have travel plans coming up. Aren't you going somewhere soon?

 

Keren: I am. Yes. I'm going to Cambodia.

 

Todd: Oh, Cambodia.

 

Keren: Yeah.

 

Todd: What are you going to do in Cambodia?

 

Keren: I am going to go to to Angor Wat to see the old temple⁴ ruins⁵ and then I'm going to go to Phnom Pen and after that I'm going to the beach.

 

Todd: Nice. So, the beaches are popular now in Cambodia?

 

Keren: Yeah. I believe there are lot quieter than the beaches in Thailand but they are becoming more popular and they're supposed to be beautiful.

 

Todd: Now is this the first time you've been to Cambodia?

 

Keren: Yes it is, yeah.

 

Todd: Oh, OK. So are you going straight to Cambodia or are you going through Thailand?

 

Keren: I'm gonna fly to Bangkok and go through Bangkok to the Cambodian border.
