shrimp that's your best vacation I really like shrimp you need to go on more exciting vacations I don't like exciting vacations in fact I don't like to travel very much then why do you work in a travel agency it's across the street from my apartment so I don't have to travel far to go to work [Music] so Mrs batty we should talk about your Safari trip to Botswana I'm so excited my first time in Africa you're going to be flying in to Johannesburg South Africa would you like a window or an aisle a window I

want to see everything in Johannesburg you should take a taxi or a limo to your hotel the next day you could fly or you could take a train to Francis town in Botswana is it an Express train yes I'll take the train I'd like to see the country great then after you see Francis town you can take a small plane or a bus to the okavanga Delta how small is the airplane it's pretty small I'll take the bus is it an express bus I think so when you get to gumare you're going to be taking

a boat to your hotel a boat the hotel is on an island when you get to the island a man with a donkey can take your luggage to the hotel a donkey there are no Cars on the island is it an Express donkey I think it's probably a local donkey of course if you don't want the Donkey you could take a small plane it goes straight to the hotel I think I should take the do donkeys never have mechanical problems right [Music] right is quite normal so many people do it all over South Africa hello

Mrs baby why hello Paul where are you traveling to now Mrs B is going on a safari in the okavanga delta in bwana nice are you flying in are you taking the train bus boat Dunkey route I'm going to be taking the donkey I did that once myself you did was it very exciting oh it was on the way there the plane had mechanical problems that sounds scary we got in late and I missed a train to Francis town so I decided to take a bus but I got on the local bus by mistake I

don't like local buses then the bus had an accident so I rented a car but it broke down oh dear I got the gamari 2 days late then I got seasick on the boat to the island oh my did you have any problems with the donkey I got bumped from the donkey you mean they overbooked the donkey no I mean the donkey bumped me off the road to the hotel he he but it was a very exciting trip you love Africa so any questions Mrs batty just one how much is a ticket to [Music] Paris

you want it's a deal I'll get some money from the ATM great you said I don't know have thanks thanks for dinner my pleasure I saved a lot of money on the camera should I leave the tip no I'll put it on the credit card $5 that's not enough sure it is the bill was $50 that's only 10% so didn't you like the food it was good was there a problem with the service no then you need to leave at least 15% no I don't Paul we come here all the time the waitress gives us

great service because we usually tip well I always leave 10% have a nice evening we're not quite ready no problem look I'm paying tonight so I get to decide how much to tip oh all right hey isn't that Mr Evans over there where never mind it's someone else shall we go mhm thank you very much you're welcome are you a music fan uh depending on the music yeah so what kinds of music do you like I like classic rock I like to see what's new I like rock and roll and Hip-Hop and things like that

I like classical and jazz when do you usually listen to music um I used listen to music whenever I'm waking up in the morning and getting ready and also whenever I'm getting ready to go out in the evenings I always listen to music so how often you listen to music um at least twice a day and where are you when you listen to music Us in my office or in the car do you go to concerts yes sometimes and what concerts do you like to go to um classical music and operas do you have a

lot of CDs or cassettes yes quite a lot could you tell me a little bit about the types of music you have well uh I like you know rock and roll music I like American Music as a matter of fact I don't own very many CDs but my husband owns lots of CDs so I listen to his instead approximately how many CDs do you have um a few hundred wow that's a lot how would you compare yourself with your sister how are you alike and how are you different um for example do you like the

same kind of music or the same kind of foods well we do look alike but apart from that we're very different she likes um the Arts and I'm more interested in sport well I would say first of all that my sister is much better with money than I am um she you know she can save whereas I like to spend me and my brother are quite different um um I'm much more talkative and and he's much more shy but other than that I mean we we grew up in the same house so we love the

same food and we listen to the same music pretty much and we like the same movies we whenever I go back home I always watch movies with them and stuff so in general which do you think is better a small family or a large family uh well speaking from personal experience I would prefer to have a small family like I do I feel that parents have more time to spend with their children um there's more funds for each child um but at the same time I can see how a large family could be fun having

a lot of brothers and sisters and you know large family occasions so what are the disadvantages of a big family um it's very hectic it's very noisy um it's like a train station there's always people going in and out so you can never have time alone and you know when I do want time alone I'll have to go out out of the house to jog do something so it's very very crowded noisy in and out in your opinion what is healthy food I think like a lot a lot of green things like salad and vegetables

and fruits are very healthy what what foods would you consider unhealthy um those fast food potato chips um sodas so do you try to eat healthy Foods I try and eat healthy foods yes I don't always succeed but I try and eat healthy foods what what's an ideal diet in your opinion a lot of would say like potato vegetables chicken so for example what might you recommend for a good breakfast good breakfast would probably be um an egg with no butter little salt and pepper and maybe a piece of white toast or wheat toast excuse

me so for example for dinner tonight what are you thinking about for dinner tonight okay I may do chicken broccoli U maybe stir frry which consist of a lot of vegetables like broccoli carrot pepper Bean string beans those are the things that I love to cook okay how about uh spicy foods are spicy foods okay to eat uh yes I'm not a big fan of spicy foods but uh I think they're okay to eat how about sweet Foods sweet foods you can eat sweet Foods if if you don't eat too much are you an exercise

fan yes I love to run I run in the morning before work and I run on Saturdays and Sundays along the river and through the park are you a fan of exercise not really so Rita would you consider yourself a couch potato no I'm not a couch potato absolutely not I I just I hate to exercise so do you actually have a routine that you follow every day yes we go out uh I go to the park and uh meet uh people who are in my age group they're 80 60 70 we have quite a

number of 80s and 190 year old and we either walk or we run for about 3 and 1 half miles and I go uh I go to the park when I'm not no 3 days a week I go to the pool and walk in the water and uh the rest of the time I go to the park and walk how often do you do tai chi about once a week so uh do you feel exercise is important yes I think it's important but not enough to do it more than once a week well to be

honest I'm very lazy that's why I wish I could do more exercise maybe I should um starting from today do you fly frequently yes I fly maybe twice a month do you fly frequently I do yes um I travel a lot with my job so I'm always on an airplane what kind of a seat do you request when you fly I always want to sit at the aisle so I can stretch my legs I prefer to sit in the back of the plane in a window seat I always get a window seat why I like

to sleep and I need something to lean up against so um have you had any problems with traveling in terms of delayed flights um missing flights anything like that yes I have um I've missed a flight um flights have been cancelled they've been um delayed um I've had to either go home or if it's in a city that where I'm not from I've had to get a hotel so could you tell me your worst airplane travel nightmare yes when I had to fly from Austria to America I got stuck in London Airport and had to

wait 10 hours for a flight that got postponed first canceled and postponed and all the stores were closed and all we could do was just sleep on benches and in the on the floor and and tried to find food that was not very good so it was not a good experience yeah that sounds awful yes it was [Music] awful do you want to see a play what time does the play begin it starts at 8 is that okay I'd love to go I'll see you then I heard it got some good reviews where's the playe

what's the show it's called one single life to lose think about it I don't know everything will be all right when you and I go out tonight when Thomas so gives us talk the famous chef that's not for me the doors open at 9:00 there's a movie we could see Smith and Second Avenue that's my favorite neighborhood I can't wait to be with you I can't wait to have some food everything will be all right when you and I go out [Music] tonight we're going to have a good time don't keep me up P my

you want is there anything you need have you made up your mind what you want to eat place your order now or do you need more time why not start with some juice lemon orange or lime Some Like It Hot Some Like It Sweet some like it really spicy you may not like everything you eat but I think we're doing nicely I can understand every word you say tonight we're speaking English at the World Cafe I'll take the main course now I think I'll have the fish does it come with a choice of another dish

here at the store it won't be too hard to take out a check or a credit card the bank has a good rate of exchange and everything here is in my price range the easiest part of this Bargain Hunt is that I can afford anything I want whenever I travel around the world I spend my money for two shopping for souvenir helps me to be near you I try to decide how much I should pay for the beautiful l i see on display to get a great deal I can beat to nice it can't hurt

to build a website for the company oh yes how's it coming along well sir I think I need some new technology what do you need a new scanner what's that it's a scanner sir but it's not nearly as good as this one this one would give us much better photos Okay and a digital camera would be good what's that it's not a digital camera sir it won't take pictures as easily as this one okay and also a new laptop it's not as fast as this one I see anything else a new DVD drive and I

could also use a new joystick a joystick isn't that for computer games well I don't really need the joystick what's all this going to cost me well actually we could do without the DVD drive and the laptop and the camera and the scanner great do you have a favorite genre of movie I love drama I love comedy but my my favorite is drama do you think there's too much violence in movies I think some times some films portray violence a little too graphically but I feel that um if it helps the plot along um and

there's sort of a point to the violence then it's okay but unnecessary violence really turns me off so do you choose to go see movies if you know they're going to be violent I usually tend to see films that get good reviews or by uh filmmakers whom I admire I don't think violence would really you know sway me one way or the other do you ever go to see violent movies yourself yes I've seen violent movies um Thrillers and and movies of that nature can violent movies be dangerous I think people are dangerous I don't

know that movies are dangerous should children be allowed to see violent movies no I don't think children need to be watching violent movies so what's your feeling about violence is it harmful particularly to Children um it I think violence is um harmful um especially in movies movies children of certain ages should not see uh violent movies because they're a little more influential and um don't have the uh judgment skills that adults do could you tell me um some of the things that are important to you in a hotel such as um a fitness center or

a pool a gift shop a restaurant a business center I look more for a location in a hotel than anything is anything else I want it to be close and convenient to whatever I'm doing in town if I'm there to enjoy myself for example then I want to be near the beach uh so um location is more important to me than anything else I I don't pay too much attention to the hotel one bed she doesn't like twin beds but I'm I'm not a big fan of hotels if they have if they're comfortable I'm happy

with it when you stay in in a hotel do you use room service no I try not to use room service because I like to get out and see a little bit of the Tino the city that I'm staying in thinking about a really good hotel experience could you tell me about that really what makes a hotel special is the are the people who work there if people there are very nice and friendly and people say good morning and know you by name and they they when you come back to the hotel they greet you

and they ask you how your day was and they just make the difference if if when I stayed in the hotel I had um I had a Bellman bring me flowers that were left over and put them in my room and those are those little touches that I think make your experience or you stay in a hotel much more pleasant than when you just stay anywhere else how about a worst hotel experience well um I have had experiences more on more than one occasion where I've been in a room next to people that are rather

noisy and so that can be that can be a distraction especially when you've got to be up early in the morning who are you most like in terms of Personality my mother and why do you say that outgoing she smiles a lot do you have any brothers or sisters one brother Two Three Sisters okay and how are you different you say one more extroverted than the other or more introverted uh well I'm quiet calm I don't really get excited over things and just take it easy I don't let things bother me a lot while my

sisters they will get excited and get upset and um so I'm not like that okay how about first children do you think that they have certain traits that they share well I think my brother being the oldest and the only boy was allowed to get away with things a lot more than my sister and I and what I mean by that is um as the oldest and as a boy he was able to go to concerts at an earlier age than my sister or I um he kind of got out of household duties uh that

my sister and I had because he was babysitting Us and how about if you're the last in a big family do you think that uh you get special benefits from that yeah you get clothes what about birth order do you think that makes a difference who's the oldest and who's the youngest um I don't think so not important I don't think it's important it's just the personality if you got a bill in a restaurant that was obviously wrong what would you do I would tell the waitress and ask her if everything's okay I think they

should tell the waiter and what should they tell them um the that um they're given too much change or they're undercharge How about if a person's shopping in an apartment store and uh an expensive piece of clothing has a tag on it that's obviously wrong it's priced too low uh would that should that person tell the cashier or just pay for it I usually ask that's me though well I I would go to the cashier or I think everybody should go to the cashier at least in ass is that right and if he says it's

right then at least you tried it and then suppose you found some cash on the street not in a wallet just some cash lying on the street what would you do with it I pick it up and put it in my pocket I usually do not pick up money if a very poor person is around cuz I think a poor person needs it more than I do so I leave it lying there so are the three situations the restaurant the department store and the cash on the street the same or different I think each one

is different yeah why um you make judgments all the time and not everything is equal you look so familiar have we met before I don't think you're from around here it might have been two weeks ago but I'm not not sure has it been a month or a year I have a funny feeling that I've met you twice that's what they call Deja Vu you are saying something friendly trying to be nice and now you're being friendly too one look one word is the friendliest sound that I've ever heard thanks for your greetings I'm glad

actually when I was young I thought I was going to be a chef you could be a chef these cookies are fantastic why didn't you become a chef my mother talked me out of it she thought I would always have to work at night she was afraid I would never meet a man and get married she was probably right if you were a chef you wouldn't have met Bob how do you know before he met you Bob only ate fast food it's true your mother must have been very happy when you and Bob got engaged

she was hey you'll never guess what Bob was going to be Cheryl a rock musician uh basketball player no Bob was going to be a dancer he was actually in the state ballet when he was young no kidding you never told me this I could have been a great dancer what made you change your mind the diet was too hard I had to stop eating everything chocolate cake fried chicken potato chips I tried I might have been able to do it but then they said no more bread and butter bread and butter can you believe

it and that was the end wow Bob I never knew do you enjoy watching ballet at all I can't I'd like to but as soon as the music starts I get very very hungry what about you Mr Evans what did you think you were going to be when you were younger if I tell you will you try not to laugh of course I always thought I would have my own television program to talk about e I didn't know you were so interested in Etiquette I have always loved etiquette I think I would have made a

great television etiquette teacher well I think you could still do it it's perfect for you really why well you're very polite for one thing you always know which Fork to use at a restaurant that's a real talent you've taught me a lot about the customs of other cultures maybe I could still give it a try today's topic dinner conversation if your International guests look offended and are leaving the table early you've probably chosen a topic that's Taboo in their home country find out what's acceptable and what's not coming up on International eate with Evans what

do you think wow amazing Unforgettable you have a real talent all right thank [Music] you I don't know I didn't know that planning a wedding would be so hard Marie could you give us your opinion on a few things I'd love to First how many people should we invite Bob wants a small wedding 20 guests would be nice I want a large wedding about 300 people 300 yesterday you said 200 I have a lot of relatives who want to come then there's the location I always thought I'd get married in a park or at the

beach that's so romantic I would like to get married indoors where I won't get wet if it's raining that makes sense I prefer traditional music in the ceremony contemporary music I'd like a long ceremony and a short reception I want a short ceremony and a huge celebration afterwards I want a white cake and I want a chocolate cake I know how are we ever going to agree on this don't hurt yourself here's an idea that might work plan a wedding that's big enough to include all of Cheryl's family sorry Bob in the park on Oak

Street that has that building where you can go if it rains you can have traditional music in the ceremony and contemporary music at the party and you could have two cakes at the reception one white and one chocolate sounds okay to me me too hey we did it oh yay I'm so happy excuse me oh Mar thank you so much you're amazing we couldn't have done it without you [Laughter] [Music] hi lunchtime is over are you coming up to the office I'm too tired to go back to the office planning a wedding is hard work

I need a holiday let's make today a holiday well tell Mr Evans we can't come back to work that's a great idea what are we celebrating you're getting married how about National wedding day what happens on National wedding day I don't know why am I the one who has to think about it why don't we make it national singles day instead all the married people give gifts to their single friends no buying gifts is hard work I want to enjoy myself on our new holiday what about a red day everybody wears red clothes and there's

dancing in the street that goes on all night how about National buy your friend another cup of coffee nice try how about National on time day what happens on National on time day you remind one another to come back to work on time happy holiday [Music] waitress so Mrs batty you're looking for an exciting place for your next vacation I usually travel to major cities in Europe but this time I want to go someplace different someplace away from the city as long as it's safe let's see ah how about California the Big Sur area is

a lot from your book yeah I think so so tell me what you're reading about right now um this part is about Great Britain really do you mind if I take a look Cheryl hates when I read Comics then I can understand why you can't put the book down you think that I could borrow it then I'm still reading this one but I have another one I can loan you I meant this one oh help [Music] yourself look at this the paper says that a tornado carried a woman for 300 miles and she lived to

tell about it I'm not sure if you know this but that story isn't true it's in the paper it must be true that paper is trash I can't believe you're reading it what do you mean it's Fiction it's not news nothing in there is true if you want real news you have to read this paper that paper is boring this one's much more interesting woman gives birth to cow man builds house from bread baby with two heads come on this is offensive storm kills 100 in Texas train accident kills five injures more man kills wife

and son I'm sorry but all that death and destruction is pretty offensive to me I know that these things happened and I know that those didn't you don't know that you just assume that it's true let's ask Bob and Mr Evans what paper they read never mind let's just read that sounds good to me look at this a man with four legs [Music] what are those wacky glasses you're wearing these are ultra high tech top-of-the-line state-ofthe-art Cutting Edge TV glasses and you're actually watching TV right now yeah right here in the corner what are you

a thing for Bob's car that would automatically charge him when he goes over the speed limit he drives so fast sometimes but he'd slow down if he had to pay no is your team losing no I heard what you said you just leave my car [Music] alone hi Paul wait till you see what I've got what is it well I have this problem with my cell phone whenever I'm traveling with a group I can never hear it ring or feel it vibrate so I got this thing that lets me know whenever my phone is ringing

how does it do that it buzzes me buzzes you know so I could feel it does it work I don't know no one's called me yet ow what someone's calling me hello hello no one's there wow that was a big buzz that almost hurt maybe it isn't working right no it's working fine another phone call hello hello strange man if I ever get used to that I'll always know whenever my phone is is ringing stop thring me Paul if I were you I would take that thing back to the store before you hurt yourself I'm

going I'll see you later I hope he can drive okay he'll be fine how do you know I'll stop calling [Music] him did you see the politicians expect to raise taxes again really what does the government decide to spend our money on now they're planning to build a stronger military it's wrong to spend so much on the military they should spend it on education instead can we please avoid discussing politics why every time we begin talking about politics people get mad at each other they should spend more money on fighting corruption if they were able

to stop corrupt officials maybe they wouldn't need to raise our taxes that's true but I think we need to spend more money on the military without a strong military the world won't be very safe that's one way to look at it but maybe the world would be safer and better if we tried to eliminate poverty what do you think Cheryl I think that if I say what I really think you'll get all mad and call me crazy or ridiculous Cheryl don't be so afraid we're only talking I think that the government should spend more money

on cooking schools what most people don't know how to cook well I think the government should help teach them that's ridiculous are are you crazy use our taxes to pay for cooking of course not but look at you you're all mad at me this is why I never discuss politics with friends but don't let me stop you from getting mad at each other are you traditional in your medical ideas that is is do you kind of believe in Western medicine or do you like to explore non-traditional treatments such as acupuncture or homeopathic medicine um I

don't explore uh non-traditional treatments as much as I would probably like to I think there's probably a lot of Merit in them and they haven't been studied enough I'm more traditional than anything else in my in my medication or my medical practices I'm more for the naturalistic approach approach I like um you know more natural um herbal medicines in your opinion what are the advantages of traditional Western medicine and surgery uh I think the enormous amount of research and uh and uh proven fact that that that's behind our medicine uh just makes it makes me

feel more comfortable with it what do you see is maybe some disadvantages of Western medicine um I think at times Western medicine can make the problem worse and trying to make problems better are there any non-traditional therapies that you use um I drink a lot of tea actually so I guess that's pretty non-traditional um usually when I feel myself coming down with something I will take a neonia which an herbal medicine uh uh prior drink a lot of orange juice since vitamin C helps you but if I feel really sick then I'll take a cough

medicine could you tell me what your career or occupation is I'm an elementary school teacher my career path will be in marketing helping companies build their brand and help market products to the general consumer um I work in um television and um I would like to eventually produce and direct did you think that uh you'd be in marketing when you were a child uh no I thought i'' be president of the United States or drive a fire truck what made teaching a good career for you first of all I love children and I liked the

idea of imparting some of my knowledge to young ones everybody has skills talents and abilities so you know some people are artistic others have mechanical ability what would you say are some of your skills um I would say um I have a lot of artistic ability um I did a lot of Art in um School uh good question uh my skills and talents would be uh coming up with new ideas different ideas creative ideas that kind of build a buzz around a product do you think that talents and abilities are genetic I think they're a

combination of both genetics and environment I think that you are born with certain um qualities that your parents I think are have and and just living with the people around you and and and um learning from your teachers and those that you're constantly interacting with you pick up certain skills you're from Germany what is a wedding like in Germany well first of all you have to have a civil ceremony where you go to um to the city hall and well you make it you make everything official and then traditionally you go to church and have

their religious ceremony and is there a wedding reception afterward usually there is of course um after church when as everybody's waiting for the broom and the bride coming out and throwing rice at them and flowers and then the whole crew is going to a nice place having dinner and having a party you mentioned that uh your family's originally from Ghana yes could you tell me a little bit about the uh courtship and and marriage ceremonies of your country um there is a traditional sometimes they do involve like the American type of wedding they're very traditional

you walk down the aisle and but they also in um there is also the traditional part in African culture and um you wear the clothing The Outfits it's much longer um sometimes it can go into the next day some people it extends tell me about the reception they find a place to go to or it's uh out outside sometimes it's a big tent like it just depends on the bride and groom and what they want and there's tons of dancing traditional dancing um eating lots of food um sometimes you have somebody come in and talk

about how they know him and how um how good he is and what he's done and you know people giving thoughts of wisdom of how to be together and it just it just really a great thing how do you feel about prohibiting smoking indoors as a smoker I don't appreciate it all the time but I can I can understand why I think it's fantastic um I think it's great if you don't if you go to restaurants and nobody can smoke food tastes better and your clothes don't smell how about censorship of books or movies by

a government I am 100% against censorship of any books or movies or any expression um of creativity um and I feel that when governments try to censor books or movies then it creates a a sort of atmosphere of fear and people don't get to don't have already access to information that um should be available to them if you could tell me maybe two things that you think are big problems in the world today I think one of the biggest problems is war and I think another big problem is racism in this world and of those

could you tell me um you know a little bit more about what you think could be done to uh alleviate these problems I think actually with both problems it's mostly about understanding each other and sitting down on a table and talk and get to know each other and and um be able to make more compromises and and understand different cultures and reasons why people do certain things certain ways and I think we would all be much happier communication communication that's the that's the clue exactly [Music] yeah wherever you go there are things you should know
