　　Ivan: I'm from Texas.

　　Todd: Texas!

　　Ivan: YepTodd: OK, what's the difference between Texas and Japan?

　　Ivan: Texas is big and Japan is little.

　　Todd: Yeah, how about the food?

　　Ivan: The food! In Texas we eat a lot of steak, we eat a lot of meat, a lot of beans, a lot of bad stuff¹ for you, but it tastes good.

　　Todd: Yeah, what kind of food do you prefer?

　　Ivan: You know it's funny. I go back to Texas sometimes and I can't eat that anymore. I'm so used to thelighter meals: the fish and stuff here. Um, what do I like more? Sometimes I like chili², sometimes I like sushi.

　　Todd: Yeah, how does the weather compare with Texas and Japan?

　　Ivan: Ah, I'm from Houston, Texas which is in the south and that's just hot, hot, hot. Never had a white Christmas in Houston. The average is about 41, 41 degrees in the summer.

　　Todd: Whoa!

　　Ivan: Yeah, so it rains a lot more here too. I still can't get used to all the rain.

　　Todd: So, Houston is pretty close to Mexico, right?

　　Ivan: Yeah, actually, it's a nine hour drive, well not nine, maybe six. I used to go down there back in high school. Me and my buddies³ would go. There's no drinking age in Mexico. Beer is about 25 cents or 30 yen⁴ over there.

　　Todd: Yeah, what do you remember about your trips to Mexico?

　　Ivan: Not much, which is why we went. We just went. It was called a border town. Basically⁵ they just existto take care of high school and college kids that want to party for a couple of nights. It's not really nice but it's cheap and it's fun.
