Todd: So, Rina, where are you from?


Rina: I am from Davidson, Skeskatchewan, and it's a small town in Skeskatchewan, about 1,000 people, and I grew up there.


Todd: Now, Skeskatchewan, that's a part of Canada that doesn't have a lot of people, right?


Rina: There's, in the whole province, there's a million people.


Todd: That's it.


Rina: In all of Canada there is only 33 million, so yeah.


Todd: And you only have one?


Rina: One. There's 33 million.


Todd: Yeah, actually, is there any major Canadian cities in Skeskatchewan?


Rina: Well, the capital is Regina. (Really) Yeah, if you've heard of that.


Todd: No


Rina: But I live in, right now my parents live in Saskatoon.


Todd: Oh, OK.


Rina: And that's, my town is between Regina and Saskatoon., called the midway town.


Todd: What's it like growing up in a very small rural 1 setting 2?


Rina: It was awesome 3. My parents, because they immigrated 4 from Lebanon were very strict with me so I really wasn't 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, it's not, it's, I've developed a lot more since I was that age and it's just not the same anymore. I'd like a bigger center, preferably Vancouver, or Montreal, on one of the coasts. Yeah. So.


Todd: Not Toronto?


Rina: No, I'm not a big fan of Toronto.


Todd: Ah, why?


Rina: Because I'm a little jaded 5. 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, that's how I feel about L. A.


Rina: Yeah.


Todd: Yeah. I don't like Los Angeles. OK, well thanks.
