and nascar is specifically uhhh american but like gran pe racing which is it's maybe like the second or third biggest sport in the world it's right up there with like the world cup

668.88
session_2400dee6

694.13
session_2400dee6
ummm
697.79
speaker1
696.63
session_2400dee6
gran pick is the fastest and it's the most expensive cars but it's also the one i think where the differences between the cars make the most difference whereas i think in nas car the cars are kept very close together so it's really differences between the drivers also nas car i think it's all left turning oval tracks just doesn't strike me as very fun to watch but you know there's like a science to it it's like a form that's you know highly defined
728.89
speaker1
698.43
session_2400dee6
which did your ummm dad
730.39
speaker2
728.53
session_2400dee6
uhhh he does formula fourd but he learned how to drive from a guy who used to be a grad p driver in the seventies some french dude and so my dad my old man and all his brothers they're really into uhhh they're really into grad p racing which is pretty unusual for americans who are into racing
752.09
speaker1
729.73
session_2400dee6

759.24
speaker1
752.88
session_2400dee6
ummm all right so this will be my last kind of like prompt i guess and then we can move on ummm

session_2400dee6
if you had somebody coming into philly who had never been here before and you wanted to give them like the kind of off the beaten path tour of philadelphia where would you take them
778.14
speaker2
768.43
session_2400dee6
ummm i usually take people to chinatown old city and ummm uhhh south south philly and i mean it's not really off the beaten path but it's nice because you can walk in the course of the day through all these dramatically different neighborhoods and see all these fascinating jusitions like you know old rested house right behind ummm you know multi naational sort of corporate type building and nearby is chinatown so that's that's sort of my standard tour
811.69
speaker1
777.13
session_2400dee6
uhhh so where do you where do you like to go specifically in those like are there certain spots that you have to hit along the way

session_2400dee6
ummm
819.64
speaker1
818.63
session_2400dee6
i mean i like the pizza joint that's on south street ummm yeah yeah lorenzo's is good ummm you know everybody wants to get a cheese steak if they eat meat if they don't then you have to get them find a cheese fake and you know that's a whole other process
836.64
speaker1
820.93
session_2400dee6
stuff like that
839.04
speaker1
837.93
session_2400dee6
i mean there's uhhh i i always like to hit the used bookstore that's on second street ummm i forget what it's called now
846.84
speaker1
840.08
session_2400dee6
but you know that place uhhh there used to be another really good one that was there that went out of business
852.89
speaker1
847.58
session_2400dee6
it's i really like the the part where there's there's eles forth alley which is the oldest continually operating street in the united states uhhh it's coble stone and stuff that's pretty cool to walk around
867.14
speaker1
854.68
session_2400dee6
so those are those are the sort of places that i walk through
871.24
speaker1
868.33
session_2400dee6

872.74
speaker2
872.08

2.27

0.25
session_2750956f
trying to hide you out
3.76
speaker2
2.28
session_2750956f
i told him too that i'll mention to him again on monday but he doesn't he's not well of course mister ohasi is not always prompt in his answering either but but maybe mister fdobasi too uhhh
22.75
speaker1
4.4
session_2750956f
well i was just wondering maybe i should should i just pick a date and and say
29.28
speaker2
22.76
session_2750956f
because i think you know at first we were talking about that tried to work it in with the festival but i don't think it's going to be good because of the fact that we foreign teachers many of us want to go down to that joelt which did right after you know which we will leave like on the friday night uhhh the third and then be down for the fourth and fifth
55.02
speaker1
29.52
session_2750956f
umhum
56.32
speaker2
55.72
session_2750956f
so so i think probably just work it into your general scheduling you know like you've done before and i rather hit it on that one
68.11
speaker1
56.36
session_2750956f
okay well i'm ummm what i' was trying to figure i asked some of the students here whether they thought it was better to arr to be there before or after the fall festival and they said after uhhuh do you agree
85.48
speaker2
68.12
session_2750956f
yes well mainly because there are especially if it's just a few days before that's when the students finally get down to preparing for the festival and so those days are really pretty pretty busy
100.04
speaker1
85.76
session_2750956f
and
100.67
speaker2
100.52
session_2750956f
so after the festival it's uhhh they're freer a lot freer so if you could make it after that weekend
107.75
speaker1
100.68
session_2750956f
what about just i'm looking at the calendar trying to figure what about say on november say if i were there november n either come in on the ninth or you know the evening of the eighth from wherever i probably will already finish the other countries maybe make it make japan the last place ummm come in on either the eighth or ninth and then leave there on saturday the eleventh how are what are those days do you know what those days might be like would those be good days

574.67
speaker2
567.92
session_2750956f
unmotivated
575.92
speaker1
575.08
session_2750956f
uhhh june is doing much better uhhh she had a it it was a hard start she kept falling asleep in class can't do that in american classroom and uhhh you know she was trying to memorize the whole book and we're saying no you've got to use the book you know you've got to use the vocabulary we don't care if you memorize it we don't care if you make mistakes you've just got to try to use it she was looking for perfection she's relaxing a little bit and uhhh it's coming along hiroki unfortunately he's doing he's you know minimal he's doing the minimal but there is another japanese girl in his class who didn't come through jc jc she's a high school graduate and is very unmotivated very poor attitude it attitude and is just ummm really resistant i'm not quite sure why she's here you know and uhhh hiroki has appointed himself as her protector and consequently she's failing and she should be by her testing she should be the top student in the class she could be easily but she's just you know just puts on the air that she's not interested and we've had some knocked down dragouts with her she's just really immature the other japanese girls say oh she's just you know it's immaturity but uhhh he because he just identifies with her you know he is not performing to where he could perform or should perform and so when she's not around he does better uhhh you know not great but better so he and it's real interesting you know i don't know at what point i will call up his cousin you know his aunt and uncle live here yeah i know in town and uhhh this has got to be a little bit of a problem because his cousin it's a gal she just passed the bar exam and has set up her own law practice brother

70.07
speaker1
49.41
session_2d705992
and they have
54.02
speaker2
53.26
session_2d705992
yeah
55.42
speaker2
54.86
session_2d705992
actually
56.92
speaker2
56.11
session_2d705992
it's true
68.17
speaker2
67.61
session_2d705992
my back
70.07
speaker2
69.36
session_2d705992
ummm
72.82
speaker2
71.96
session_2d705992
how what did i ask you about burning man
76.32
speaker2
73.51
session_2d705992
ummm yeah you you mentioned it i didn't really get a chance to tell you much it was great yeah it was ummm it was just a totally mind blowing experience ummm i mean it's just such a a huge location it's like i mean from one side of the camp to the other is like walking from here to downtown philly you know it's just ummm you know this this massive you know campground and artwork and all these really cool things and ummm and the weather wasn't as bad as i thought it would be like i i was really worried about that but the there it's it's not very humid it's so dry so like it's just a very like you know nice heat and the only the only really kind of bad thing is the dust storms ummm yeah there were a lot and it actually collapsed our tent pretty early in the week so we were stuck sleeping in the car for the rest of the time but ummm but yeah it's just because it's not like sand like i thought it was going to be more like sand but it's just like this really fine dust like sort of like almost like moon dust or something and it just you know it just blows up and gets in your face and you have to wear these gogles and like you can't see like more than a couple feet in front of you and uhhh it's pretty intense yeah
146.42
speaker1
74.81
session_2d705992
and at night it's pretty ummm pretty intense too because ummm it's really dark and you know like there's this like really full moon up in the sky but ummm but everyone goes around wearing like glovesticks so that you don't bump into each other but i didn't know that ahead of time no one told me so i i was just you know wearing my my usual stuff and ummm i was just afraid that all these bikes were going to run into me cause like they're they're flying by so quickly and everyone is just you know half the people are are tripping on drugs and ummm or drunk or whatever so it's ummm it's pretty pretty interesting
180.62
speaker1
147.16
session_2d705992
yeah but you survived
182.57
speaker2
179.51
session_2d705992
yeah i survived i i hopefully i'll go back sometime it was it was a really cool cool experience
188.07
speaker1
181.56
session_2d705992
when did you get back just like last week
191.37
speaker2
188.46
session_2d705992
ummm actually the the people i drove with we all had class so we like booked it back right after ummm we basically just drove nonstop for two days taking turns and you know sleeping in the back seat
203.17
speaker1
189.16
session_2d705992
and the people you went out with you you met them on the internet right
207.32
speaker2
204.61
session_2d705992
okay
205.17
speaker1
204.61
session_2d705992
yeah i met them on the ride share program ummm they were cool they were like nineteen ummm they were both like ummm from massachusetts ummm so we had that in common ummm the only the only downside was that they were really huge potheads so like they were just like smoking the entire time and on the way back they actually got stopped by the police and he like confcated all their stuff and gave them tickets but i didn't have anything on me so i got you know i got out of it
235.67
speaker1
206.36
session_2d705992
yeah so it was he conficatedfor smoking
241.17
speaker2
233.46
session_2d705992
ummm they got a ticket for i guess like pointing like so much parenilia like they each had a couple pipes and stuff yeah see well that's the thing is like we were looking into the rules in the different states and ummm this happened in kansas and apparently in kansas they have the right to just search your vehicle whenever and i guess you knowsion you know has to be like either on your person or in your bag but ummm but some states it would have been like a feny and they would have gone to jail so we were kind of lucky that ummm you know it happened there but ummm but yeah i mean it's just also other states he wouldn't have been able to search the vehicle without probable cause so i don't know it's just it's it's very sort of like patwork uhhh you know set of laws all over the country so you got to be careful who you drive with i think next time i would probably ummm make sure that the people i'm with probably you know didn't have so much stuff on them because that could have been bad but ummm
301.17
