Mari: Hey, Mike, so we live in the countryside, and we go to school up on a mountain. Could you see yourself living here?
Mike: Well, I do really like living in the country, but I don't think I could stay here for a long period of time, even though I do like staying here for the period that we are here now.
Mari: Where do you want to live?
Mike: Well, I've never lived in a big city, so I think that I would like to try to live in a big city.
Mari: Like which one?
Mike: Possibly one like New York or London. I think, I've always seen it on TV and I've always wanted to try to live there but I've never... so I think that would probably be really interesting.
Mari: What attracts you to those cities?
Mike: I guess just the diversity that you might find or just the fact that so much stuff is going on in the city. I might like to see how that lifestyle is.
Mari: Sounds cool.
Mike: What about you?
Mari: I couldn't see myself living here in the long-term. I grew up in two really big cities so... and I've moved around a lot and... so in the future, I think I just want to stay in one place.
Mike: What types of cities?
Mari: I guess a big city in Japan. My parents live here, so I feel like I'm more inclined to live here. My brother lives in the States and so if we both lived in the United States, I think my parents would feel a little bit lonely so I feel more inclined to live in Japan.
Mike: Which city in Japan would you like?
Mari: My parents live near Osaka. I grew up in Tokyo. I'm thinking maybe like Kobe. I think that... I like Kobe a lot because it's like an international port city, or originally it was. We have the ocean, the water, and the mountain and it just seems like a very cosmopolitan city to me in Japan.
