Todd: OK.
 
Jamie: But I spent my adult working life in Vancouver and Japan.
 
Todd: OK. How long have you been in Japan?
 
Jamie: Let's see, four years right now, and a grand total of six years.
 
Todd: Wow. How much longer do you plan to stay in Japan?
 
Jamie: That's a good question. I ask myself that on a daily basis.
 
Todd: Yeah. Yeah. Me, too. OK. So we'll go ahead and pass on that one.... What do you think about Cananda?
 
Jamie: Canada is a great place. It's a..you know being Canadian of course. I'm pretty, fairly nationalistic about it, but it's not a perfect place, obviously 1. A lot of high taxes. Not always the job that you want is available but ultimately 2 it's , you know, it's a pretty good place.
 
Todd: OK. So when you get gray and old, is Canada the place you'll settle down in?

Todd: OK. Great. Thanks a lot Jamie.
 
Jamie: OK. My Pleasure.
