Todd: Yeah, what kind of food do you prefer?
Ivan: You know it's funny. I go back to Texas sometimes and I can't eat that anymore. I'm so used to thelighter meals: the fish and stuff here. Um, what do I like more? Sometimes I like chili 2, sometimes I like sushi.
Todd: Yeah, how does the weather compare with Texas and Japan?
Ivan: Ah, I'm from Houston, Texas which is in the south and that's just hot, hot, hot. Never had a white Christmas in Houston. The average is about 41, 41 degrees in the summer.
