Share a fun fact about yourself!
Some time ago, I went to New York with my family. While passing through Grand Central Station, I saw someone being filmed. I discreetly walked by and joked to my family, "Maybe I'll be on TV!" A few weeks later, a friend from Argentina sent me a message: "Look, Leon, you're in a documentary by a famous person in Argentina about their trip to New York!" I only appear for a few seconds, but she spotted me. The world is really small!
