We’ve been talking about clothing, and I would like to ask you a few more questions about this topic. What influences a person’s choice of clothes in your country? I once heard the expression, “dress for the job you want, not the job you have,” and it struck a chord with me. I think this posturing essentially drives the choice of clothes in my country. What I mean is people try to project an image of success and wealth, even when that is not the reality. Of course, this is just a generalisation. A

Where are you from? I am from this city. I was born and raised here. Do you work or study? I study medicine at the nearby university. Tell me about your hometown. My hometown is a beautiful small city. It has a lovely waterfront full of famous eateries and cafes. Nearby we also have a region famous for its picturesque mountain villages. What is your hometown most known for? I would say my city is famous for its waterfront. People flock from distant cities to stroll along the seafront and then

Talk about a creative person whom you admire. Please say – who the person is – how you know him/her – why you think he/she is creative – and explain why you admire him/her. This is an interesting question because I consider myself fortunate to be surrounded by a creative circle of friends but of all of them the most creative person is my friend Erik. I admire him very much. Erik is a friend I met several years ago through mutual acquaintances, and we became fast friends. Although he has a nine to

We’ve been talking about creativity, and I would like to ask you a few more questions about this topic. Are you a creative person? I try to be. I try to write quite a bit, but I don’t consider myself particularly talented. For that reason, I have never attempted to write for payment or try to get myself published. What kind of jobs require people to be creative? I actually think most jobs require some kind of creative thinking. Anytime you have to problem solve, a creative solution may be needed

Where are you from? I am from Lagos, the capital city of this country, Nigeria. Do you work or study? I recently graduated university and started my first professional job. What do you do? I work in an international engineering company as the administrative assistant for the sales department. Do you like barbecue parties? To be completely honest, no, I don’t like them very much. This is something we do in this country quite a bit in the summer but because of the heat I find it far too tedious

Describe a long walk you enjoyed. Please say – where you walked – who you walked with – when you walked – and explain why you enjoyed the walk. Last year when our country was in lockdown, my best friend and I made a wonderful habit of walking on the weekends. We would set out from our homes and typically walk along the waterfront, which is lovely. However, there were several occasions when we decided to venture even further and it was worth the effort. On one particular day last March, we walked

We’ve been talking about an outdoor activity, and I would like to ask you a few more questions about this topic. Do you like spending time outdoors? Yes I do actually. I love biking, walking and just dining al fresco when the weather is nice. Fortunately, in this country, the weather avails itself to all sorts of outdoor activities from physical exercise to socialising with friends. Are there any benefits to outdoor activities? Of course! First of all, if you are engaging in exercise outdoors,

May I see your ID? Here you are. Where are you from? I am from a city in China. It’s about an hour’s drive outside of Shanghai. What is the name of your hometown? It’s called Suzhou. There is actually more than one Suzhou in China. Mine is the one in Jiangsu province. What are some important features of your hometown? Well, like many cities in China, Suzhou is very old and has several ancient landmarks, such as the Humble Administrator Garden, which I believe is about a thousand years old now

This calendar is painted on a whiteboard, so every few weeks I erase everything I had previously written and populate it with my schedule for the coming month.

We’ve been talking about time, and I would like to ask you a few more questions about this topic. Why don’t people have enough time nowadays? I think there are several reasons for this. Firstly, I believe instant messaging technology has made it difficult for people to disconnect from their professional lives. For example, it’s hard to ignore a request from a coworker if they can see through an app that you are online. Further, in my country, life in general has become more expensive and this has

Do you live in a house or an apartment? I live in a house in the eastern part of Shiraz. What is your favourite room? I would have to say my bedroom. It’s cozy and decorated in relaxing pastel colours. It also has a double-paned window and blackout curtains, so I almost always sleep well. Do you usually use a watch? I don’t, actually. I own a nice watch that my father gave me, but it’s more of a family heirloom than something I regularly wear. I think the last time I wore it was to a wedding
