Date: 2024-10-13 02:39 am (UTC)1. If you could live in any city in the world, where would you live and why?
I actually think I'd stay right where I am... the word that puts me off is 'city' because I have enjoyed visiting quite a lot here or in other countries, but being me I don't think I would want to live in any of them. Somewhere big simply wouldn't suit me, I am happy in my own big town/small city which is big enough to have everything I need all the time but not too big that I end up lost (well, not too often :) or cranky from crowds..
2. If you could speak any language fluently, what would it be?
Probably Japanese, I want to go to Japan one day...
3. When was the last time you rode a ferry and where did you go?
When was the last time we went to Sydney? We always take the ferry to Manly, spend some time on the beach, have fish and chips and then a hot chocolate at the specialist shop there. Not a fancy day out but we like it.
4. What was the longest plane ride you've ever taken?
I once did the trip from London to Sydney in one haul except for an hour stopover somewhere in the Middle East? - never again. That many hours without sleep (because I can't sleep on international flights) was pretty grim. We have done the same trip forward or back a few other times but always with a stopover.
5. If you discovered a country, what would you name it?
The part of me that has still never grown up insists on 'Dunroamin', partly because if I have travelled all that way to wherever it is, I will definitely feel that way, partly because yes, it's silly but will thoroughly annoy any self-important wannabe immigrants coming after me, and largely because I am happily imagining archaeologists of the future with their unquestionably altered and changed English language trying to find a serious, deep and momentous reason for the choice and what it must mean...
I do have lists of place names, both real and imaginary/prospective for writing. I'm sure I could find one - or a hundred - there that would suit whatever this country brings to mind at first glance. The one thing is that it would not be named after me or anyone I was related to or knew or any Very Important People Of My Day. Except maybe a cat :)
