English: <no-speech>

American: hmm so what was egypt like

American: okay egypt because i i would like to go there but i don't know haven't had the chance but yeah it looks really interesting and like um it's kind of a historical artifacty place because yeah i mean those like ancient egyptians were so smart

English: <no-speech>

American: so yeah i would say that's like seems like a good starting place i wanna go to egypt and then maybe iceland because i always see those really pretty pictures on the internet of like

English: oh the aura borealis

American: oh yeah yeah the aura and also like they have just really really weird looking naturey places like they have an ocean no they have a beach that's just black sand

English: no way i've never heard of this before

English: yeah there's there's too many places to go the world is a big place

American: yeah i know um wait what was i gonna say um so do you wanna ask the question now

English: okay um i'll ask you maybe about a favorite uh book or film or tv show that you had as a child or more recently or something

American: okay um what should i say okay i'll just go with movie

English: okay

American: right uh i used to be obsessed with the movie matilda you know that one right

English: oh yeah i i think you mentioned this before <laugh>

American: yeah like with ms trunchbull and stuff but yeah no i was so obsessed with that movie like i would watch it every single day because that was still the dvd time so i would just like you know how kids are like i would just come home every day and put matilda on and watch it again and again and again so yeah i really liked that movie i should actually rewatch it it's been very long since i've um rewatched that one and but it's like such a heartwarming story you know

English: mm hmm i i get you um

American: have you have you seen it

English: but yeah hmm what what were you going to say

American: have you seen it

English: oh no yeah i've seen matilda a couple of times

American: yeah

English: it it was just when you (()) um when you mentioned dvds it was making me think how um yeah it wasn't too long ago that we still watched stuff on dvds or even vhs

American: yeah

English: um that it's so wild to think that we just stream everything now i think i think one thing that's that shocks me honestly in my daily life is just the thought that i'm um like yeah in in my lifetime technology has changed so drastically and i mean i'm used to it because like i've grown up with it but i can't imagine if like you know for older generations who experienced technology at a certain pace and for example were using like payphones and and um you know all those kinds of things for a while and then next thing you know you have mobile phones they have smartphones and you know that sort of progression but in such a sort short space of time

American: yeah yeah i know i know because i remember being in like the sixth grade and maybe not it was maybe not in the sixth grade but like in elementary school and i was watching tv and they were talking about smartphones for the first time and like how smartphones will um be released in korea the next year or something and i was actually kind of skeptical like i thought like oh you know it's not gonna like take on i guess but then

English: wow

American: it really did and um yeah like i mean yeah i mean i guess when i was in elementary school you could still technically access the internet from your phone but it was like super super slow and super complicated and expensive to do that and you could like you couldn't like google things right you could just i don't know download songs or something but then like in the span of like two three years we got proper smartphones and yeah i i remember when like uh it was difficult to watch youtube videos on smartphones because the downloading not not the downloading but like the loading speed was so slow you couldn't even watch it at like a hundred and forty four p but now

English: honestly i remember that <laugh>

American: yeah but now the technology is so advanced like you can easily do like what ten eighty p and yeah

English: honestly like back in the day when you actually had to wait for the video to buffer now i don't remember the last time i saw the buffering sign on any streaming site

American: oh yeah oh no i forgot i forgot all about that buffering si sign like the round thing like going around you know

English: honestly

American: maybe wait was that not the symbol you saw but like

English: yeah yeah the little circular um

American: yeah

English: rotating circular thing icon

American: yeah because yeah i remember that because i remember watching wait so this was the time when i didn't have a smartphone but my mom did so i was watching the annoying orange video do you know that channel

English: it was annoying i was watching the annoying orange video on my mom's phone but like it wouldn't load so i was like really frustrated and that that's a distinct memory i have

American: <laugh> that's so specific and honestly that's so cute i can just imagine mini you trying to

English: trying to get the annoying orange to load

American: honestly i swear when we were kids we used to worry about the wildest the wildest thing because i was literally saying um to um my parents the other day how i remember when i was younger and i used to read a lot of book series so um because of that let's say i finish book two in a series or something and then now i need to try and find the next book

English: mm hmm

American: so i would um check to see if it was in my local library check to see if it was in my school library

English: mm hmm

American: i would practically like search like high low up or down everywhere humanly possible for this book but then sometimes

English: right

American: i know that you know people would be borrowing it so the library doesn't have it so then i need to like special request my parents <laugh> i'd be like please can i have some money to buy this book (()) practically every book collection ever apart from some that like maybe i'd get a book set gifted to me i would just have random like books not um in the chronological order so maybe i have

English: <no-speech>

American: books one four and seven because because those are the ones i had to buy because the library didn't have them

English: okay

American: oh man good times

English: yeah good days yeah i i remember going to a library a lot like as a kid too like my school library actually had a lot of really good books that i enjoyed reading and i i wish like um the library at our university was a little more like that because i think they only sort of stock the more scholarly books and not for fun books

American: oh i get what you mean to be honest i haven't really explored the library all that much um like it was only the other day that i decided to start having a look cuz i figured as much as we we do probably mostly have academicy type stuff um i was thinking that i just wanna have some more like leisurely reading type type things that they

English: i don't i don't know like last time i checked they don't they didn't even have harry potter there

American: what

English: <no-speech> maybe no maybe some of the books aren't in that library but potentially in another library um in the sense that i think some of the um as in even if the main library doesn't have everything

American: mm hmm

English: i think some of the other ones have books there that aren't

American: yeah yeah maybe

English: if that makes sense

American: hmm yeah maybe i wonder if every anybody like actually uses the physical books out the library cuz i honestly never do cuz like when i use the library services it's to like access online resources right like scans of textbooks rather than

English: oh really um

American: <no-speech>

English: i mean i'm kind of the same like <laugh> i say that like i'm bored but <laugh> i mean i haven't but i also used to think that hardly anyone borrowed stuff but i mean i've seen people borrow things and

American: mm hmm

English: i mean i guess maybe it depends on the degree as well

American: yeah yeah

English: some of these degrees need you to have the physical copy more than others so

American: yeah yeah and i guess like if you're gonna read a book from like cover to cover it's a lot better if you have a physical copy because honestly like in my courses uh i usually just need like one or two pages in the middle and never the whole book

English: yeah that's true but that's

American: but i guess there are degrees that require the entire thing yeah

English: yeah that's been my experience as well cuz sometimes i just find it hard to read an e book um like you said

American: yeah yeah

English: it just sometimes feels easier when you have the actual book in your hand

American: yeah yeah that's i mean that's definitely true like yeah i mean just the experience is not the same <laugh>

English: honestly

American: mm hmm so uh wait what were what was i gonna say so like you your exams are over right or do you have do you have other one tomorrow

English: um no i'm finished thankfully

American: oh great

English: um but yeah so i i guess yeah that's that's third year officially over

American: yeah oh my god it was such a whirlwind

English: honestly it it is been it's been such a long year

American: yeah

English: but also i think i think we're pretty much done now

American: okay great i'm gonna stop the recording now um are you sure you want to stop recording to cloud yes
