Around Town

Solomon Ssenyange

Chemical engineer

I visited Serengeti National Park during the Great Migration. I saw lions, zebras, buffalo and crocodiles. It was absolutely thrilling. But seeing animals getting killed by other animals was very unpleasant, and something I never want to witness again. Nature is not kind, which is why human beings need to be kind to one another, regardless of the differences between and among us.

I don't ever want to get married again. I really hit the jackpot when I married my beautiful wife. Our life together is so great, and we have an adorable baby boy. I would never want to be married to anyone else.

Vivek Balasubramanyan

Engineer

Many years ago I tried balut, which is the contents of a fertilized, unhatched duck egg. I ate the whole thing, including the feathers. It was tasty, for sure, but not tasty enough that I'll ever eat it again.

I once went on a helicopter ride over a volcano in Hawaii. It was so exciting, but I felt carsick the entire time. Because it was such an uncomfortable experience for me, it's something I really don't want to ever do again.

Lisa Crane

Sales clerk

I don't ever want to be pregnant and/or give birth, ever again. It was the most excruciatingly painful experience of my life. I'm thrilled to have my son though, so I'm glad I experienced all of that once. My husband and I thereafter adopted two delightful little girls from China. It's so wonderful to have and raise these children without ever having had to experience the pain of childbirth to get them.
