Dialogue: Passenger: Hey Taxi! Ah great. Thanks for pulling over. Driver: Where to? Passenger: Well, I'm going to the National Museum of Art, and .... Driver: Sure. Hop in. No problem. Hang on! Passenger: Uh. Excuse me. How long does it take to get there? Driver: Well, that all depends on the traffic, but it shouldn't take more than twenty minutes for the average driver. [Oh]. And I'm not average. I have driving down to an art, so we should be able to cruise through traffic and get there in less than fifteen minutes. Passenger: Okay. Uh, sorry for asking [Yeah?], but do you have any idea how much the fare will be? Driver: Oh, it shouldn't be more than 18 dollars ... not including a ... uh-hum ... a tip of course. Passenger: Oh, and by the way, do you know what time the museum closes? Driver: Well, I would guess around 6:00 O'clock. Passenger: Uh, do you have the time? Driver: Yeah. It's half past four. [Thanks] Uh, this IS your first time to the city, right? Passenger: Yeah. How did you know? Driver: Well, you can tell tourists from a mile away in this city because they walk down the street looking straight up at the skyscrapers. Passenger: Was it that obvious? Driver: Well ... Passenger: Oh, before I forget, can you recommend any good restaurants downtown that offer meals at a reasonable price? Driver: Umm ... Well, the Mexican restaurant, La Fajita, is fantastic. [Oh] It's not as inexpensive as other places I know, but the decor is very authentic, [Okay] and the portions are larger than most places I've been to. Passenger: Sounds great! How do I get there from the museum? Driver: Well, you can catch the subway right outside the museum. There are buses that run that way, but you would have to transfer a couple of times. And there are taxis too, but they don't run by the museum that often. Passenger: Okay. Thanks.

Dialogue: M: Wow, I had no idea it was going to be so sunny here! I thought Alaska was supposed to be cold. W: Well, it is pretty cold for much of the year. But during the summer, it's just as warm as it is in states like Washington and Oregon. M: Interesting. The days are really long right now. I don't think the sun has been down for more than a few hours the whole time I've been here. W: Yeah, that's another interesting thing about the summers here. We're so far north that we're exposed to the sun for almost the entire day. In winter, the opposite is true. M: You mean it's dark the whole time? W: Well, not the whole time... but maybe for two-thirds of every day from December to February. M: Whoa! How do you make it through every year? As a California native, I wouldn't be able to handle that for more than one season! W: I guess I'm used to it. When I was a kid, it was pretty fun to play with flashlights and have campfires outside in the afternoon. I never noticed that life was worse because it was always dark. Question: Where did the man grow up? - In Oregon. - In California. - In Washington.
(Answer)
In California.
