Tom: So tell me about your day. What do you do in a day?
Martin: Generally pretty standard, you know, come up to campus in the morning, study, have class, and then read a little bit, go to the library, and then go ba ack home and go off to work in Oita.
Tom: You work?
Martin: Yeah, just in Oita for one or two days a week.
Tom: OK. Oh that sounds like a nice schedule.
Martin: Yeah, how about you? Youre here for how long a day?
Tom: Oh. I get the first bus up in the morning. It gets me here at about 8 oclock. I have only 3 classes in a day so its only, what, about four and half hours of teaching. The rest of the time is preparing the lessons, marking the homework, surfing the internet, using the library as well. And then I head home about 6 oclock.
Martin: Doesnt sound...well, a little busier but...
Tom: Its quite a relaxing schedule, not too intense. And getting home at 6 or 7, Ive still got time for a swim or to cook something in the evening.
Martin: Do you go to the club down there or...?
Tom: The public swimming pool next to the park.
Martin: Ah, OK.
Tom: Have you been there?
Martin: No I havent. But Ive walked by there.
Tom: Do you live in that part of Beppu?
Martin: I live in Kamagawa so quite far away from everywhere else but its nice and very, very quiet.
Tom: That seems like its important to you.
Martin: As I get older, it gets more important, so.
