Todd: So, Lucinda, I met your boyfriend, Kwame, he's a nice guy.
Lucinda: Yeah, he is.
Todd: How long have you two been going out?
Lucinda: Oh, gosh, I think around about two years, two, or two and a half years.
Todd: Wow, that's a pretty long relationship.
Lucinda: Yeah, it is.
Todd: So how did you meet?
Lucinda: We met through the school. I can't actually remember the first day we met because being students we kind of meet people and stuff 1 like that but we spent some time together at a party and a friend's birthday party.
Part 2
Todd: Oh, OK, now you come from two completely 2 different cultures.
Lucinda: Yeah we do.
Todd: Can you talk a little about that?
Lucinda: Well, Kwame's from Ghana and I'm from New Zealand. Ghana is in West Africa, and, gosh, they're very different. I've never been to Ghana but Kwame came to New Zealand and we basically 3 come from one of the two most different cultures you can probably imagine, but being in Japan, I think, when we met in Japan and we were in the same culture so it's not like he was visiting New Zealand or I was visiting Ghana because there was not real culture shock or we've kind of assimilated 4 to each other's cultures very much so in our own relationship we're pretty much no cultural problems or anything like that, (right) yeah.
Todd: Yeah, I think it's easiear cause you're in a neutral 5 culture.
Lucinda: Yeah, Yeah.
Todd: Well, what are some things that you have in common?
Lucinda: Ah, things we have in common? We both like watching TV. Kwame likes watching TV a bit more than I do. We both like basketball and soccer. But Kwame's very passionate 6 about that and I can watch for ten minutes.
Todd: So, do you watch the NBA?
Lucinda: Ah, NBA, yes, yes.
Todd: Do you both support the same team?
Lucinda: I support players. (Oh, I see) I'm not really a team person but, but Kwame supports teams but I'm very passionate about the players because we also play this Playstation game. NBA LIVE! and any player that's on the Playstation game, I kind of have this bond 7 with and I get really mad someone else take's the ball from him or something. I get passionate that way but Kwame does like his certain teams.
Todd: OK, well, how about, what do you guys, what's different about you? Like do you have different personalities 8 or anything like that?
Lucinda: Yeah, we have very different, I think we have the exact opposite for personalities. Kwame is very quiet and he's very reserved 9 in his opinions for certain things. He won't say whether he really likes something or if he dislikes something, whereas 10 I'm very opinionated and I like to have my say over everything so I talk a lot and I, even if it's on what type of soap we use, I have a very strong opinion on what it should be and, yeah.
Todd: Yeah, well, he's a great guy, so. You guys make a cute couple.
