People-meeting, people-watching, reading magazines for hours, buying oreos eating them then immediately regretting it, wine with friends, music as a soundtrack to life, fusion food, internet gossip, dancing til it's hard to move, shopping for nothing in particular, learning about traditions, travelling and taking photos, quality-time, people that break stereotypes, comfortable silences
