   Todd: So, hello, Mitchell, right?

  Mitchell: Yes. Nice to meet you.
  Todd: Nice to meet you. Now Mitchell, you're from Hawaii?
  Mitchell: Yes, I am.
  Todd: That must be pretty cool. What's it like growing up in Hawaii?
  Mitchell: Hawaii's really different compared to mainland1 America. I'm originally born in Ohio, but I moved to Hawaii when I was two. The culture's really different. Since everyone came from different backgrounds, for example, people, Chinese people, Philliphino people, Korean people, they all came from the plantation2 days. It's a mixed culture, and for example if, my friend's in Hawaii, if I look at one person, I don't know what nationality or race they are, because they have like six races in them.
  Todd: Really, yeah.
  Todd: Well how about in Hawaii, when you think of Hawaii, what do you think of? Is it weather or food?
  Mitchell: Weather, food, and beach.
  Todd: The beach. OK. Yeah, what island are you from by the way?
  Mitchell: I'm from Ohau.
  Todd: Ohau, OK, so obviously3 Ohau's more like...
  Mitchell: Yeah, it's the capital of Hawaii. Honolulu is the capital. Ohau's the most populated island. Our population now is about one million.
  Todd: Oh, really. And the whole island is one million.
  Mitchell: Our own island, that is one million.
  Todd: Well, usually how many tourists are actually on the island at the same time?
  Mitchell: I would think at least 20,000.
  Todd: Yeah, that's quite a bit.
  Mitchell: Yeah.
  Todd: Yeah. So in Hawaii is it warm all year round? Sunny, and?
  Mitchell: Well, the coldest it gets is when you are sleeping in the winter time, it'll hit like 69 degrees farhenheit and that's when people are throwing on sweaters, the whole like winter.
  Todd: The coldest it gets is 70 degrees.
  Mitchell: Right, around like 66 I would think, when you are sleeping.
  Todd: Man, wow, actually, that's farhenheit, that's the American system. How warm is that in centigrade? About 25?
  Mitchell: 24, 25?
  Todd: Maybe, I don't even know. Interesting. What do you think is the best thing about living in Hawaii?
  Mitchell: It'd have to be just the environment itself. There's, you know, everyone's like, we say 'Ohana' means family. Everyone treats everyone like, for example my friend's parents, I call them 'auntie' or something like that because they treat me as like I'm their own kids. It's the culture in general. It's a warm feeling culture. It's like, their not as shady4. They'll welome you. When you come in they'll start feeding you food, you know it's like, you're not even hungry and they're feeding you. Also, you can't beat the beach. Surfing, body boarding, body surfing, canoe5 paddling.
  Todd: Ah, man, it sounds pretty good. OK, thanks Mitchelll.
  Mitchell: No worries. Thank you.
