Josh
I: Josh, how are you?
J: Um, to be honest, I'm completely knackered! I've been dancing all night.
I: You're very white. Don't you like sunbathing?
J: Uh, well, I haven't been to the beach yet.
I: How come? How long have you been here?
J: Dunno. Nine, ten days.
I: Well, what have you been doing since you arrived?
J: I've been clubbing every night and sleeping all day. I've met loads of people, especially girls.
I: So, have you had a good time?
J: Oh yeah, definitely. I reckon this is the best holiday I've ever had. The only problem is I'm skint. I've spent all my money and I've still got a few days to go.
I: Oh dear. Well good luck and have a good journey home.
J: Cheers. You couldn't lend me some money, could you?
Saskia
I: Saskia, how long have you been here?
S: Since 1997.
I: Where are you from originally?
S: Holland, but I haven't been home for a couple of years now.
I: What have you been doing here since 1997?
S: Having a great time - I've been working in clubs. I've been a resident DJ at Amnesia for two years. Oh, and I've been building my own house.
I: Really? Do you make a lot of money working in clubs?
S: You can, but I've also married a guy from Ibiza. His father gave us the land to build a house.
I: I see. Do you think you'll ever go back to Holland?
S: No way. I love the lifestyle here: it's so laid back. And anyway, all my friends and family come and visit me here.
Antonio
I: Good morning, Antonio. How are you today?
A: Not bad, not bad. But I've been working all night in my restaurant so I'm going to go to bed soon.
I: Well, thanks for talking to us. How long have you been here in Ibiza?
A: All my life. I was born in the north but I've been living in Ibiza town since 1995. That was when I opened my own restaurant.
I: What's it like living here in Ibiza?
A: Ah, it used to be a wonderful place, but now the tourists have spoilt it.
I: But tourists have been coming to Ibiza since the sixties.
A: That's true, but they've changed. Tourists used to behave much better than they do today. Englishmen used to be gentlemen. Now it's all tattoos and piercings.
I: What sort of people come to your restaurants?
A: Well ... er ... tourists.
