April’s question – What would you prefer: mountains or seaside?

So first, to explain. I began to ask people (no matter if I know them well or just got to know them, but normally I ask them if I already spoke to them – at least ‘hello’) simple questions. Do not ask me why I started to do that, I do not have any special reason, on the other hand I have got thousands of reasons.

The first and best reason for me is how the asked person reacts on your question. There is no right or wrong answer, no answer is an answer to, and a question is an answer anyway…

what came out:

–> *laughing* ‘Good question…‘ – person starts to think and dream, the person’s face gets a nice touch of holiday relaxation and forgets you, your question, and all the surroundings
–> ‘what for? holidays? living? working? sleeping? … something active?’ – no answer, or let’s say my question was answered by more questions
–> ‘Why do you want to know that from me?’ – are you a crazy psycho-girl, who whats to analize me with stupid questions?
–> ‘I do not know. Is there anything I should prefer? ‘
—> ‘Hm, hard to say, … Is there a wrong or right answer?’
–> A straight ‘mountain’ or ‘sea’ – that was all, minimalistic but clear
–> A straight ‘mountain’ or ’sea’ – followed by at least 5 reasons, or advantages/disadvantages, why the person made that particular desicion
–> A clear ‘Both – rocky mountain cost’ – I want it all
–> ‘I do have to think about that, this is not easy,.. ‘ - maybe I can tell you next week, afer googeling ‘mountain’ and ’sea’
–> ‘I do not know, what do you prefer?’
–>…

What I personally liked about asking that question, was to make people relax, just for some seconds. And also nice – they sometimes begin to think loudly, they think their thoughts infront of you =)

What I do prefer? – Mountains. With a small river flowing somewhere… *
