    No, because I lose every time. Even if I am the single competitor I'll come the second......

    Do you buy souvenirs when you travel abroad?

    maybe a t-shirt or something similar, but not trinkets.

    if/when you travel abroad do you try the local cuisine, or stick with familiar things?

    I really don't know....Haven't traveled too much. Depending where I'd travel......
    And on ingredients. I'll never eat chicken...

    When you travel abroad what's your main interest? ( like people, food, museums, historical places, etc. ).

    I love history, so museums are a must, especially small local museums because they concentrate on local things more than large metropolitan museums do. I have never been a night-club person, so I avoid these lake the plague.

    If a visitor/tourist was to come to your town/city, what would you direct them to see/visit/do (apart from get out of town)?

    Nothing special to be seen in my hometown. A famous place is People's House- now it's the Palace of the Parliament, the world's second largest administrative building. In my opinion it's just hideous and useless.
    Foreign tourists have just two options:
    1.Village Museum - a collection of traditional village houses from different parts of the country
    2. The old center-don't be fooled by this title, it's not defined by some special architecture or historical buildings but by a collection of pubs and cafes, many with international specific - Irish, Greek, Turkish, Lebanese, etc.

    What's the worst thing about your hometown?

    Being on the west coast, with westerlies as the prevailing wind, the spring weather can sometimes be quite unpredictable (for unpredictable read nasty). Apart from that it is a wee bit isolated from the rest of the country, but this can be a good thing.

    What is the major industry where you live?
