what's your street like where you are?
I live in a noisy street, there are many bars, cafeterias and clubs.
The first weeks I got nuts because of all the noise, and I was considering living somewhere else, however, I got used to it by now and I actually start to like it.

In Netherlands it is quiet on the streets past 10pm, here in Argentina parties start at 10pm...
And well, for those days that I really can't sleep, I use earbuds hahaha!
 
Would you choose to be 6 inches taller or 6 inches shorter and why?
I prefer to be 6 inches shorter because if I would be taller (I'm 1.75 meters) people would think I'm a giant I guess.
The Dutch are already one of the tallest people, so.. I will go ahead with being shorter.
 
What is one sense you’d like to hone? (Can go beyond the normal senses- taste, smell, hear).
 
You had a choice to walk down the road which street would that be
 
Do you drink a lot of starbucks Cofee
This is actually a funny story.

I started drinking coffee back in 2016, I never liked coffee before. I used to try the cappuccino of my father (by adding loads of sugar), but I didn't like it that much.
In my city, The Hague, The Netherlands, there were 4 Starbucks Stores and I always passed one. I wanted to try the "hype" of Starbucks. I saw it in movies, commercials, Facebook... everywhere!

Even though I didn't like coffee that much... I wanted to give it a try. So when I entered the Store I told them it is my first time at Starbucks and I wanted to give it a try but I don't know what to order. They told me, if I like sweet stuff, I should try a Vanilla latte, but... this woman said: to make sure you like it, I will add 7 vanilla shots. (There are 2 in one already, so 9 vanilla shots in total).

Now, you can imagine that as a kid that loves sweet stuff, I loved it. Damn sweet, but so good.
So I kept on ordering vanilla lattes with 7 extra vanilla shots... for over 2 years.

Now, then this happened: I used to travel quite a lot to Paris because I really liked the city, shopping and I had some friends there. One day I went with my friends to a Starbucks in Paris, and I asked for 7 shots... (forgetting to tell them VANILLA shots). I paid almost 14 euros for my coffee... which was insane because in Netherlands they never charged me for these extra vanilla shots, but... bon.. The French 👀🇫🇷. After I got my coffee and took my first sip, I realized why this coffee was 14 euros. They added 7 ESPRESSO shots. So 9 espresso shots in total. (I returned the coffee and got a normal vanilla latte instead, without the 7 shots). After that I stopped ordering the Vanilla Latte and its 7 extra vanilla shots.. From that day on I ordered normal Latte's and add a little bit of sugar.

Now as I just had my morning coffee so the caffeine kicked in, makes me talk too much 👀 long story short and to answer your questions.. The reasons behind my username, I just like the hype of Starbucks. Nowadays I only go to Starbucks to meet up with friends, or just work a bit, but since I live in Argentina now and traveled quite a lot, I didn't go that much to Starbucks anymore. Usually I go to other cafeterias. Just at the airports it is my regular coffee-stop ✈️

However, I still like the interior at Starbucks, and its work environment.. full of people with MacBooks 🧑🏼‍💻

As I used to work at Apple and always arrived with a Starbucks Coffee we always joked around about it, some colleagues even proudly showed me when they bought a Starbucks coffee... or we had some non-confidential meetings at... well, guess what.. Starbucks!
