<p><strong>Ann: </strong>I really liked living in Australia. I was an
international student and I studied
education at the University of Sydney. Lliving in Sydney was fantastic becuase I could go to the beach anytime I wanted and there was a great nightlife in Sydney. There are lots of great clubs. People were very, very friendly and easy-going and I met a lot of international people living in Sydney..</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong>How long were you there?</p>
<p><strong>Ann: </strong>I was there for almost a year.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Oh, OK.</p>
<p><strong>Ann: </strong>I travelled a little bit in Australia. I went up the east coast, up to Frasier Island which is a world heritage site. I saw dingos running along the beach and sharks in the water. We climbed cliffs and went through a rain forest and went camping and then we went up to the West Indies, which is a bit further north. The further north you go in Australia, the hotter it gets. We were able to go swimming in the ocean and I went diving for the first time but it was a little bit risky because I didn't have a diving license. I went on an introductory dive and I saw a giant clam that had a really spongy purple inside that I was able to touch and then the clam closed up really quickly.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>So, did you lose your finger? </p>
<p><strong>Ann: </strong>Almost.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Almost. Ah, you're lucky. It's funny, you go in the water and you worry about sharks but not clams.</p>
<p><strong>Ann: </strong>Exactly.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>Will you be going back to Australia soon?</p>
<p><strong>Ann: </strong>I'd like to go and live there for at least another year. Probably I'll go back to Sydney or I may go down to Melbourne because it's a really interesting cultural city. They have lot of museums and parks.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>OK. You got to choose real quick. Only one city, Montreal or Sydney, which do you choose?</p>
<p><strong>Ann: </strong>Sydney, without a doubt.</p>
<p><strong>Todd: </strong>OK. All right. Thanks a lot.</p>
<p><strong>Ann: </strong>You're welcome.</p></div>]]>
