Rina: Theres, in the whole province, theres a million people.
Todd: Thats it.
Rina: In all of Canada there is only 33 million, so yeah.
Todd: And you only have one?
Rina: One. Theres 33 million.
Todd: Yeah, actually, is there any major Canadian cities in Skeskatchewan?
Rina: Well, the capital is Regina. (Really) Yeah, if youve heard of that.
Todd: No
Rina: But I live in, right now my parents live in Saskatoon.
Todd: Oh, OK.
Rina: And thats, my town is between Regina and Saskatoon., called the midway town.
Todd: Whats it like growing up in a very small rural setting?
Rina: It was awesome. My parents, because they immigrated from Lebanon were very strict with me so I really wasnt allowed to do very much until I was about in grade 11, when my brother was old enough to come with me, but it was, once I was able to start going out and going to dances and things like that I loved it.
Todd: Oh, really, even in your small town?
Rina: In my small town, yeah. Cause I had it, I was very close with a lot of, like a very small class, very very close with a lot of people there, yeah.
Todd: Sounds good. So, in all of Canada, like when you go back and you settle down and you live in Canada, do you want to live in Skeskatchewan?
Rina: No.
Todd: No.
Rina: No, its not, its, Ive developed a lot more since I was that age and its just not the same anymore. Id like a bigger center, preferably Vancouver, or Montreal, on one of the coasts. Yeah. So.
Todd: Not Toronto?
Rina: No, Im not a big fan of Toronto.
Todd: Ah, why?
Rina: Because Im a little jaded. When I was, in 94, we went to Niagara Falls, and we drove through Toronto and it was just so, it looked so busy and smoggy and just crazy, and so I never really liked it since then. I have that image in my head still of that.
Todd: Yeah, well, thats how I feel about L. A.
Rina: Yeah.
Todd: Yeah. I dont like Los Angeles. OK, well thanks.
