[12:32.85]I have to admitted I do like my food,as you can see from my size.
[12:40.50]The food in the hotel is just excellent.
[12:45.26]We usually have breakfast and dinner in the hotel,
[12:51.71]and then have lunch out somewhere.
[12:55.97]And the thing I like,is the variety of food you can get here.
[13:02.52]We've had French food,Indian,Thai,and what else...oh,yeah, Japanese.
[13:11.90]We are just having a great time,
[13:16.26]but when we get back home,I'm going to a have to go on a diet.
[13:23.03]1st woman:  What do I like most? Oh, the shopping.
[13:29.38]There are so many shops here,it's wonderful!

[13:46.17]There are two things I really like,I like shopping for clothes. 13:54.72]I just got to have the latest fashions,and I like collecting antiques²⁰.
[14:05.35]So I often take a cap up to Hollywood Road,

[14:28.23]It never gets this hot back home.
[14:32.99]It's all right if you're in somewhere airconditioned,like Pacific place.
[14:42.23]But if you're outside,well,it's just too hot for me in the middle of the day.
[14:51.90]So I often stay in my hotel,and then go out again in the evening.
[14:59.37]2nd man:Well,I like the views best of all.
[15:04.41]Hong Kong just looks so amazing.

[15:36.10]The Hong Kong Bank Building,the Bank of China,the Central Plaza²².
[15:44.46]What do I dislike? Oh,the crowds,I think.
[15:51.43]I come from a small town myself
[15:56.40]and I'm not used to being in a middle of so many people all the time.
[16:03.45]It's difficult,if you want to get somewhere quickly.
[16:09.30]But I don't really mind it too much because I like watching people.
[16:16.67]So I just go along with the crowds[16:21.73]2nd woman:Well,I have my two young children with me
[16:27.19]and they don't really enjoy shopping or seeing Museums.
[16:33.15]So I took them out to Ocean Park,and we all had a really good time there.
[16:41.80]So I think that is the thing I like most about Hong Kong.
[16:47.75]They liked seeing Beethoven's and so on.
[16:53.11]We all enjoyed Ocean Park.
[16:57.47]Oh,I supposed it's over noise,that's what I dislike.
[17:04.31]Our hotel room is quite near the street,
[17:09.07]and we have traffic noise all day long.
[17:13.93]I'm not used to the noise of the airconditioner,either.
[17:18.89]And almost everywhere you go,it seems to be noisy.
