Todd: OK, Hello!

Christian: Hello!

Todd: What's your name?

Christian: I'm Christian.

Todd: Hey, Christian. And now Christian, where are you from?

Christian: I'm from Norway.

Todd: Norway!

Christian: Yeah!

Todd: Wow, what city in Norway?

Christian: It's called Proshkura.

Todd: Porshkura.

Christian: Yes, it's close to the capital city, Oslo. About 150 kilometers south of Oslo.

Todd: How many people live in this city?

Christian: In my city, 35,000 people.

Todd: Oh, really. (Yeah) Oh, wow. That's pretty small.

Christian: Pretty small. The biggest city in Norway is Oslo and it has 500,000 people.

Todd: That's the biggest!

Christian: That's the biggest. In total, we have 4 and half million people in Norway.

Todd: That must be nice being from a small country, I mean big in land but small in people.

Christian: It's nice. It's not as crowded as Tokyo to put it that way.

Todd: Yeah, so Tokyo's what, three times the people.

Christian: Three times the population of the country, yeah.

Todd: Wow. That's crazy. So what's the best thing about Norway?

Christian: The best thing about Norway, the clean air, the blond girls, and the mountains.

Todd: Do you go in the mountains a lot? Do you mountain climb or hike?

Christian: I ski. I ski as often as I can. Probably once a year I go, try to go skiing when I home, and it's great, I enjoy it, I've been doing it all my life so, yeah.

Todd: So this is downhill skiing.

Christian: Downhill skiing, yeah.

Todd: Do you ever do cross-country skiing?

Christian: Sometimes, I used to do a lot of cross-country skiing when I was younger, but as I got older, it was more downhill skiing. It's a bit easier. Less physical.

Todd: OK, thanks Christian.
