00:07I have lived abroad before so I kind of know the taste of it and the feel of it and it's a very different lifestyle.

00:21I'm not sure about that.

00:23I don't know if my family could go with me.

00:25Yeah, yeah, I think that would be my draw.

00:27Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I wouldn't move anywhere without my family being at least a bus ride away.
