1. What is your favorite breakfast drink? Egg nog with marsala (an Italian port).

2. What are your favorite news sources? I have given up reading the news. Instead I just flick to the opinions page in the local newspaper, to see what people are talking about these days, then to the comics. Occasionally I glance at the World News section to have a little chuckle at what fresh mischief the Americans have gotten into.

3. What browser do you typically use? Internet Explorer.

4. Have you ever been mistaken for a celebrity? If so, who? When I grew my hair it puffed up at the sides and I was accused of resembling a certain picture of Leon Trotsky. Unpleasant? Yes.

5. What city do you live in? Wollongong.

6. What top 3 things do you like most about your city? Australia's 9th largest city has residential areas a stone's throw from businesses and a beach not much farther than that. It also has diverse multicultural restaurants and the largest Buddhist temple in Australia, the beautiful Nan Tien temple.

7. What top 3 things do you hate most about your city? Probably the usual. Drug addicts. Bad fashion. I can't think of a third.

8. What is the best tourist city you've been to? Sydney, I think. I live not more than 1 hour 15 minutes drive from it, and, like most large cities, it can be big, beautiful and ugly all at the same time.
