Pet peeve about your teammate
This sounds ridiculous, but how he chews his food! He chews his food so loud and for so long. I can't even believe I'm putting that down, but it pisses me off so bad. I can't even explain it. It seems to just be him that does it.

India or China. The culture and the diversity intrigue me.

An incredible experience with my father, and to show that anything is possible. Two cancer survivors can come back from incredible odds and do hard things.
