Todd: So, Asako, you lived in the United States for a long time.
Asako: For six years.
Todd: That's a pretty long time.
Asako: That's right.
Todd: Where did you live?
Asako: I lived in Alaska.
Todd: Alaska.
Asako: That's right.
Todd: The last frontier.
Asako: I'm an unusual one.
Todd: So, yeah, cause usually when people go and live in America for a long time, they don't choose Alaska.
Asako: Yeah, that's right, but Alaska is such a beautiful state.
Todd: Why did you choose Alaska?
Asako: Well, I went to university there. There was a university. I wanted to go. That is the reason.
Todd: And then you stayed for six years.
Asako: I fell in love.
Todd: Wow!
Asako: Just beautiful. That's it. Just beautiful.
Todd: So what do you remember most about Alaska?
Asako: Wilderness. Mountains. Glaciers. Mosquitos.
Todd: Mosquitos?
Asako: Mosquitos. Big ones. Really big. You can't see such a big mosquito anywhere else on this island, not on any other place, but huge mosquitos. Some people say mosquitos are actually the state birds of Alaska.
Todd: The state bird. Really. So obviously there's lots of beautiful things and the mosquitos, but what else? Like what was the city like? I mean, was it a big city or a small city?
Asako: Well, the biggest city is called Anchorage, and... but it's not really big-big. In the middle... the biggest street in Anchorage you can see moose.
Todd: You can see moose?
Asako: Yeah.
Todd: Just walking around.
Asako: Walking around. Exactly.
Todd: In the city there's moose?
Asako: Yes. Exactly.
Todd: Now can you go up and pet them like....
Asako: No, never. Never. They are wild things. You can't pet them, but, I mean, they are very, very calm and nice animals but if you meet a mother moose and if there are children, her children are around, they can be really mean. So you don't really pet them. You can look at them and admire them, but that's it. Beautiful things.
Todd: Well, that's good to know.
