Todd: OK, Shona, let's talk about shopping. What are things you don't like to go shopping for?


Shona: The two things I don't like shopping for are food and shoes. And food because I just find it incredibly boring and I just like to get in and out of the supermarket as quickly as possible and just get what I need because I find it really like scary and weird 1 to like how there are just so many items, like, that I don't have a clue what they are and they're all like there on the shelf. They're so many of the same thing. I just find it really weird. And the lighting 2 in supermarkets. It is just too bright for me, and I just - everyone's walking around like zombies with their trolleys 3 and I just find it very weird.


Todd: Actually, it's funny you say that because I love shopping for food. In America, I love shopping for food because I can read the labels. In Japan, where we live now, it's not so fun because I can't read and it really drives me nuts, when I can't...


Shona: Exactly. Exactly.


Todd: OK.


Shona: Shoes.


Todd: Shoes.


Shona: Shoes I cannot shop for because I have like quite big feet. I've got like a size eight, which is like a forty. I think it is a forty-one. I think it's quite big for a girl, and I always see like really pretty shoes I really want, but they just don't fit my big feet, so it's like a big disappointment.


Todd: Actually, you know it's funny you mentioned about the shoe size because, you know, if the United Nations does anything, they should make a universal shoe size.


Shona: Yeah, and like dress sizes as well. It's like really confusing.


Todd: Like, everytime you buy shoes, it will say, " UK 12, USA 10, International 6" or whatever and it's always really confusing.


Shona: I know exactly.


Todd: OK, so you don't like food. You don't like shoes. Anything else you don't like to shop for?


Shona: I don't like to shop for technical things.


Todd: Oh, that's the best.


Shona: No. It's good for like some people.


Todd: Oh, I love that.


Shona: Especially male. I'm not being like sexist, but for me shopping for technical stuff 4 is just so boring and it confuses me on end.


Todd: Actually, that's probably what I like to shop for the most. I think it's fun.


Shona: I can tell, actually. No, I just, I hardly ever need to get anything that's like too technical. If I do, like, I'll just ask someone else's advice because I just don't have a clue.


Todd: Right, but you have a computer right?


Shona: I have one, yeah. I have a laptop.


Todd: And you have an MP3 player?


Shona: Yeah, but these things have both been bought for me. I didn't buy them myself.


Todd: Ah.


Shona: Yeah, so that's why. A hair dyer, like I don't mind buying something like that but anything technical and it's just I'm not going to enjoy shopping for it.
