Traveling with Family
Todd: So, Jeyong, you were telling me that you like to travel.
Jeyong: Yes, very much.
Todd: Now, this is interesting. Who do you normally travel with?
Jeyong: You would be kind of surprised to hear this, but then, I normally travel with my dad.
Todd: Wow. That's so cool. Why is that?
Jeyong: That will be first of all because my dad goes on a business trip very often and I ask him if I can follow him most of the time and he would say yes, and I would just have time with him on his business trip and traveling around.
Todd: That's really cool. What kind of business does your father do?
Jeyong: He's in apparel.
Todd: Apparel.
Jeyong: Export
Todd: Oh, really.
Jeyong: Yes.
Todd: So does he teach you the secrets about business?
Jeyong: Not that much about business, but then traveling around he teaches me about differences between all the cultures of countries.
Todd: That's fantastic.
Jeyong: How importat that is.
Todd: So what countries have you been to with your father?
Jeyong: A lot to name, actually. Do you want me to name all those?
Todd: Well, how about which ones do you remember the most?
Jeyong: I remember the most about Europe. I went to France, England, Switzerland and Roma so those four places were very interesting for me, and other than that, I went to Cambodia, Vietnam, Guam, and so on.
Todd: What was Cambodia like?
Jeyong: Cambodia is a really memorable trip for me with my dad because it was really interesting how many people in boats on the water. There's a society in Cambodia like that and then it was really sad looking at them how they own much money and they have to spend their day using a dollar.
Todd: So not very much, but did the people seem happy in Cambodia?
Jeyong: They did look happy, happier than the people where I come from.
Todd: That's kind of interesting. Yeah, I used to live in Thailand and I kind of felt the same way to, although Thailand is very developed. Any other places that you've been to?
Jeyong: Other places? Maybe in The States.
Todd: Oh, really. Where did you live in the States? Or what did you do in the States?
Jeyong: When I was in elementary school, I lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for five years but after that I also went travelling around the other states, such as San Francisco in California, Los Angeles and New York City, where I like the most and Florida. All the beaches.
Todd: Now, I'm from San Francisco and you said you like New York better that San Francisco, so I have to ask why.
Jeyong: Why? Because the people in New York, how they live their life, it looks cool.
Todd: Yeah, New Yorkers are pretty cool. OK, well thanks Jeyong. Thanks a lot.
Jeyong: No problem. Thank you.
