  about your family. How many people are in
your family?</p>
<p><strong>Adrienne: </strong>In my immediate family, there
  are four of us: my mother, father and my
younger sister and I.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> OK, and now do you see each other a lot. I mean, do you
get together with your family often?</p>
<p><strong>Adrienne: </strong>I see them actually fairly frequently considering we
all live very far away from each other.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> Oh, yeah. Where does everyone live?</p>
<p><strong>Adrienne: </strong>Well, I live in Tokyo and my mother is living now in
  Hong Kong and my father lives in Minneapolis and my sister lives
  in Milwaukee which is not far from Minneapolis but she's a flight
  attendant, so she's rarely in Milwaukee. She actually flies to the
Middle East and Europe mainly.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> Wow. That's pretty cool. You've got this family like
everywhere.</p>
<p><strong>Adrienne: </strong>It is. It's very funny. We often go online to chat with
  each other and to say hello and we'll be spread out completely
across the globe. It's very funny.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> So, do you actually go and see your mother in Hong Kong,
or your sister in the Middle East?</p>
<p><strong>Adrienne: </strong>I haven't been to the Middle East. She's never there
  for long enough to visit, but I have been to Hong Kong several
times to see my mom.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> And how as Hong Kong?</p>
<p><strong>Adrienne: </strong>Oh, it's a great city. Really interesting city. Lots of
  water. Obviously it's a harbor city, and mountains and lots of
  greenery so it's really beautiful for such a big city. It's not
completely concrete, like a lot of major cities are.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> Now, we have vacation coming up. Are you going to be going home and seeing any of your family?</p>
<p><strong>Adrienne: </strong>I hope so. Yeah, my plan is to go back to America for
  the holiday and visit everyone there for a couple of weeks. Say
  hello to my family my grandmothers, my cousins, my sister, my
friends, everyone who is there.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> So is everyone going to be there, your mom, your dad, and
your sister?</p>
<p><strong>Adrienne: </strong>I'm not sure. I'm hoping that everyone can come
  together for some kind of family reunion. Like I said since we all
live so far away.</p>
<p><strong>Todd:</strong> Well, I hope you all make it.</p>
<p><strong>Adrienne: </strong>Me, too. </p></div>]]>
