   Todd: So, Mitchell, you are Hawaiian, right, and Hawaii is part of the United1 States but, what would you say, that most Hawaiians are similar to people in the mainland2 or quite different to people in the mainland?

  Mitchell: Ah, that's a tough question. They're the same because they speak English but they look different. They're more of a, more darker complexion3. They speak in a more pidgeon, we call it "pidgeon English." It's broken English, so it's not, if I go to, for example, if my friends, we'll go to the mainland, lot of them don't really understand them, like, "Can you repeat what you said, please?"
  Todd: Right
  Mitchell: But I guess anywhere you go everyone's different, so?
  Todd: How about, can you say there's a difference in culture in how people are, like in personality4, people on Hawaii and people in the mainland?
  Mitchell: I tend to think that people from the mainland talk more.
  Todd: Right.
  Mitchell: Like, yeah they'll just talk about anything, and Hawaiian culture they don't talk as much. they talk when you have to talk real talk, in general, but.
  Todd: Have you ever actually considered moving to the mainland, or would you prefer to live in Hawaii forever.
  Mitchell: Well, yeah, I've considered it many times. Actually, my middle brother right now is working in New York City. (Oh, wow) and my oldest brother was working in Boston, (uh-huh) but now he's back in Hawaii working, and my middle brother is still in New York working. Yeah, I would like to live in the mainland, but I'd like to pick a place with nice weather, you know, a warm culture.
  Todd: Right, right. You can't beat that warm weather in Hawaii. That's for sure. How about the foods? What's some food that's really good in Hawaii?
  Mitchell: Oh, man, don't get me started on food! Since Hawaii has mixed culture, we call it local food, like it's called a plate lunch. Like for example, you'll pay five bucks5, and you'll get whatever you want, you just choose, for example, steak, rice, salad, for all five bucks. The food is I think, is way better than mainland because like, it's, the food is mixed, so like, you can get anything you want. For example, if you go to a food court in Hawaii, we have every section. Chinese, Korean, Hawaiian, Philliphino, so you get to choose whatever you want, you know, Mexican, and I think the portions6 are big too.
  Todd: Oh, wow, sounds good man. I haven't had lunch yet. You're making me hungry.
  Mitchell: I'm hungry myself.
  Todd: Thanks Mitchell.
