哈皮昨天為一個朋友舉辦了派對，要自己為22個人做晚飯，累得不輕。今天他們的話題是解答粉絲問題，這個粉絲的問題是什么呢

Andrew: So, Harp, how’s it going? What’s new with you?

Harp: It’s pretty good. I had a very, very busy weekend. I hosted a dinner party slash birthday party for a really good friend. And it was pretty exhausting because I had to cook dinner for 22 people.

Andrew: Wow. Twenty-two people? Harp: Yup.

Andrew: And you hosted them all in your apartment?

Harp: Yup.

Andrew: Wow! That is a lot of work.

Harp: Yeah. So obviously, I don’t have an apartment big enough to seat 22 people. So, we did kind of a buffet style. I did Mexican taco night. So, it was pretty cool.

Andrew: That sounds really good.

Harp: Yup. It was pretty good. Thank God one of my best friends is a chef, so he helped me out a lot. I’ll be honest.

Andrew: Yeah. Well, you need it when you have that many people over.

Harp: Yup.

Andrew: Were you able to hang out with your guests and chat with them a bit?

Harp: Yes. I was. ’Cause that’s the good thing about tacos, is that you can do most of the prep before, so when people are there, it’s just a matter of quickly reheating things.

Andrew: For sure. Very cool.

Harp: Yes. So should we get started with today’s episode?

Andrew: Yeah. Today, we have a Chatterbox episode. And this is where we discuss current events or interesting things. We just chat.

Harp: Yup. And today we’re doing a very interesting episode that we’ve called The Culips mailbox.

Andrew: Yeah. So, you know how every episode, we encourage you to send us emails and messages on Facebook? Well, a lot of you have. And we are going to respond to some of these messages in this podcast.

Harp: Yes. I think we should get started. So the first question is from Ji Sun in Korea. And she asked us, “I was just awarded a working holiday visa, which will allow me to work in Canada for a year. I want to go to either Vancouver or Calgary. Which city do you recommend?” Oh, good question, Ji Sun. What do you think, Andrew?

Andrew: Well, this… You know, I’m a person that can talk about this with some authority ’cause I’ve lived in Vancouver and in Calgary. But I think it depends on what your goals are, right? Do you wanna come to work and just to experience living abroad? Or do you really, really wanna learn English? Because I think if you’re from Korea, and you go to Vancouver, you will probably just end up hanging with a lot of Koreans and speaking a lot of Korean. But if you go to Calgary, you might, you know, speak a little more English.
