What’s the best and worst airport you’ve been to?
Best airport: On the basis of keeping one entertained on a long layover or in delay, Changi (Singapore) with its gardens or Amsterdam’s Schiphol with its art museum.
Worst airport: I went through Charles de Gaulle (Paris) a couple times when it was notoriously difficult to navigate transfers, and Kathmandu Tribhuvan when it had nothing but an instant coffee cafe once one was through security.



What’s the most annoying trope in books or movies?
The McGuffin. A thing chased for the sake of being chased. It only works because humans, like dogs, are programmed to chase certain things without a good sense of whether it’s worth it or what would happen if one ever caught it.







What’s something you do completely differently from how you were raised?
Travel.
