Personal issues:

What did you usually do when you was a child? When did you realize you want to study history? What kind of things have you been scared of in your life? How were you feeling to start your Phd? Where did you were last December? Did the plane take off on time to New York? How many hours had you wait to check in? Did you feel nervous when the plane takes off and lands? Do you like people come to the airport to see you off? (see _off: go to a stations, railway or airport, etc., to say goodbye to someone) Would you prefer to stop over somewhere on a long distance flight or fly direct to your destination?

Do you think has your culture been influenced by other cultures? Yes, it has? Which ones? What cultural influences has your country had on other countries? Which is the most interesting city you have ever visit? Has anything ever gone wrong while youve been in another city or country?
