  • Is this your neighbourhood? What’s one thing I should know about it?
  • What are you reading, or listening to, right now?
  • That’s a great jacket. What’s the story?
  • What are you looking forward to this month?
  • What would you do today if nobody needed anything from you?
  • Who’s the most interesting person you’ve met this year?

Missions

Say good morning

Say good morning to three people before noon. Eye contact counts. So does getting one back.

Ask for a recommendation

Ask someone nearby, the barista or the person next to you on the bus, for their favourite thing around here. Then go and try it.

Give a real compliment

Make it specific, and about a choice they made: the jacket, the dog’s name, the book they’re carrying.

Stay for the second question

Start a conversation, and at the moment it would naturally end, ask one more thing.
