Transcript for 1 Minute Excerpt: Good and Bad Points about Chiang Mai
1. Dominic: So-so things like that. So, yeah, so here, the--, I mean the food's nice, but it's bland, and it's bland to get---
2. Samantha: No, it’s too spicy. No, it’s too spicy. I'm--I’m going hungry more often than not cause I can't eat it. You can add spice, okay. At least if it's bland, you can add spice.
3. D: Yeah.
4. S: But if it's already spicy, I can't take it away.
5. D: And that is a grand argument. And I’m sure that's the thought process of the chef.
6. S: Yes, yes. So maybe you can do that next time.
7. D: No, you’re right. So come on then. Let's--, If we have to summarize it, remind me,
8. S: Okay
9. D: tell me what--what were our three--
10. S: So good, good, good points for me were being able to see the stars at night--
11. D: Okay.
12. S: --Uh, being in a smaller city so I can appreciate the countryside--
13. D: Uh-huh
14. S: Uh, and, yeah, the weather yeah, it's what makes me. And my negatives, I've only got two. It's the insects and the spicy food.
15. D: Okay, and I would pretty much agree-- in agreement on the positive things. I mean, you’re light pollution, I’m on noise pollution.
16. S: Yeah.
17. D: Let's call it. It's a keen place to be.
18. S: Yeah.
19. D: It’s an element of tranquility.
20. S: Absolutely yeah.
21. D: Okay, the weather we agree on, and remind me again, it’s drifting away, I’ve forgotten the other one. Uh--
22. S: For me it was the--, being in the countryside, not being in the--
23. D: Of course, that’s right.
24. S: Yeah, so a smaller place.
25. D: Yeah, yeah, sure.
26. S: Yeah.
27. D: And then the negatives. I think the food is bland. Sorry.
28. S: I think it’s too spicy.
29. D: Yeah, and--
30. S: Insects, for me.
31. D: Insects. Did I have another one?
32. S: Uh... I can't remember. Maybe for you it’s the creepy-crawlies. But you said you're more used to them now.
33. D: Yeah, yeah,
34. S: But yeah.
35. D: So I mean if I had to throw one more challenge or negative thing about living in Chiang Mai--, I find it really hard to do, because, really, I like living in Chiang Mai.
