 Katia: Hello Felipe, how are you?

Felipe: Hello, I'm fine.
 
Katia: Listen, I was1 thinking3 you know a lot about Ecuador and Colombia right?
 
Felipe: Yeah.
 
Katia: What is it that you like about those two countries or what is it that you don't like that much or what would4 you like to change?
 
Felipe: Well, what I really love of both countries is nature5 because, you know, my hobby is mountain climbing so I enjoy climbing high mountains in both countries because you have that, you know that in Colombia and Ecuador there is the highlands and you have really, really high mountains so I enjoy that. And also let's say one thing that I don't like is that cities are too big, you know, and if you get lost, if you travel6 to Bogot·, it's huge7 so I don't like cities in Colombia because they're so big, they're huge and you get lost.
 
Katia: What about in Ecuador? Quito, is it also a big city?
 
Felipe: Well it is a big city but it's not as2 big as Bogot·. If you think, you can travel from the south to the north in a couple8 of hours, maybe two hours, it's not that huge as Bogot·.
 
Katia: That is so interesting. What about something that you would like to change perhaps9 of Ecuador or Colombia?
 
Felipe: Well, the only thing I would like to change is something about tourism10 because you know that people overseas11 outside of Colombia and Ecuador, they don't know too much about Colombia and Ecuador. So I don't know, I think the government12 should, you know, make people overseas know more about Colombia and Ecuador so that we can attract13 more tourists14 to our countries.
 
Katia: That is so true15. Actually16 just by knowing more I want to go to Ecuador and Colombia.
 
Felipe: There you are, that's great.
 
Katia: So thank you Felipe.
 
Felipe: OK, you're welcome.
