Todd:OK. Diana, we are going to talk about your hobby.

Diana: Well, I suppose the reason why I came to Japan is because.. I suppose it's a personal thing. There's many different people in Dublin, different types of people. I do not think that Dublin has the mental stimuli or does not have the hardcore atmosphere that somewhere like Tokyo could possibly have, so you have many types of people are very happy living in Dublin, going to the same places, the same bars, same restaurants yet, I feel that Tokyo has a lot more to offer because it's more hardcore. There's so much stuff to do. Simple things like Karaoke, non-drink related activites that you can do over here which is great, so I wanted to get away from Ireland. See a different country, a different type of atmosphere and have some fun as well at the same time and make some money.

Todd:What is your hobby?

Diana: I have lots of different hobbies but right now I'm learning to play the guitar.

Todd: Great. How long have you been playing or practicing?

Diana: I got my guitar two years ago but I've probably spent a total of two weeks practicing.

Todd: Did you bring your guitar to Japan?

Diana: I didn't. Actually, my brother wants to learn to play also so he's taking good care of my guitar while I'm here but when I get back I'll jump right back into practicing.

Todd: OK, great. Well, who's a better player?.

Diana: I am for sure but I told him that if he gets better than me while I'm away that he has to teach me everything he knows.

Todd: Oh, that's only fair. OK. Can you play any songs?

Diana: Yes, I can play & quot;Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee & quot; and just the last part of the & quot;Star Spangled Banner & quot;. Not the beginning, the beginning's way too hard.
