Ken: Go ahead? OK. My name is Ken MacKenzie. Ah, I come from Toronto and, ah, I've lived a couple of years in Montreal, as well, in Canada. I'm—I'm in Australia now. I'm glad to be here, ah, although, it's getting colder here and it's getting a lot warmer in Canada, unfortunately. My timing's a little off, but, um…

Michael: Are you from the city?

Ken: I am from the city—from North York, which is sort of a suburb of Toronto. Um, I've, uh, let's see. I'm 23 years old. I graduated from school last year-ah, from university—in Montreal though.

Michael: Which one?

Ken: Uni—ah, Concordia University.

Michael: OK.

Ken: Um, so I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts, which [laughing] doesn't count for a whole heck of a lot, but, um… Yeah, um, I've been travelling for about five months now and really enjoying myself. Um…

Michael: Great, um, what sort of accommodation do you live in here in Australia?

Ken: Here I live in a hostel. I'm looking for an apartment maybe for the First of June to see if I can sublet from somebody or…or something like that, something a little more—a little bit more permanent 'cause I'm planning on staying here for a couple of months—three of four months here in Melbourne so it's probably a better set up.

Michael: Great, thanks.

Ken: No, no problem.
