> What trinket, knick-knack, collectible, etc. in your home would you miss the most if it were gone?
I have an old microphone which used to belong to my paternal grandfather,
who I never had the chance to meet (he died when my father was four.) It
doesn't currently work, but I've had it in the back of my head to repair
for a long time. Mostly, it just looks nice - chrome plated, 1940s style.
It's a nice memento and a link to my past.
> Whom do you consider a national treasure in your country?
The people, not famous but many in number, who refuse to give up and cede to the current
regime in spite of the current regime working very hard to get people to do exactly that.
> What footwear do you prefer in summer: sandals, or sneakers/trainers/runners/running shoes?
Sandals at the beach or around the house (or barefoot.) Sneakers otherwise.
> If the answer is tomatoes, what is the question?
"What is a food you inexplicably like in chopped form, but not in sliced form?"
Specifically, I don't like sliced tomatoes on sandwiches and such, but I
do like chopped tomatoes as part of pico de gallo, pasta sauce, etc.
> What tips do you have for making friends in a new place?
This is something I am really, really bad at. No one needs my advice on this.
But I think I'd say: listen first, speak second, be yourself always.
