Misaki: So, tell me, Philip, how are you getting used to living in Japan? Philip: I haven't had much trouble adiusting to life here so far Misaki: What do you think of the people? Philip: I would say they're reserved, but very polite, and willing to help. Misaki: Don't you find the traffic in Tokyo hectic? Philip: Not in the least. I lived in Mexico City before, so I'm used to heavy traffic. However, I prefer taking the subway to driving a car Misaki: But sometimes the trains are crowded. Philip Yeah, but on the other hand, it's civilized. There's no pushing and shoving. Misaki: And what things aren't you used to vet? Philip: I'm not used to the cost of living. Things are so expensive here. Misaki: What about the Japanese language? Philip I was thinking of hiring a teacher. Would you be interested in teaching me? Misaki: I'm really short of time. But I ean recommend someone.
