Hello? Hi, Deborah! This is John. I'm calling from Australia. What are you doing in Australia? I'm attending a conference in Sydney this week. Remember? Oh, right. What time is it there? It's 10:00 P.M. And it's four o'clock in Los Angeles, right? Yes - four o'clock in the morning. 4:00 A.M.? I'm really sorry. That's OK. I'm awake now.

Where are you from, Laura?  Well, my whole family is in the United States now, but we're from Costa Rica originally. Oh, so you're from South America. Actually, Costa Rica isn't in South America. It's in Central America. Oh, right. My geography isn't very good !!!
