Story of an Englishman

The last person we got to speak to was Jonathan Finglass, representing the UK, who lives in London. I knelt before him as he was doing some surfing on one of the PC stations in IPC. He was a quiet young man, somewhat withdrawn, and not outspoken at all. At times, I had trouble listening to his answers because of the ambient noise of the cafe.

Pongky: Hello, thanks for sitting down and talking with us.

Jonathan: No problem

Pongky: So, are you from London?

Jonathan: Yes

Pongky: Ah, I used to live there when I was smaller, in North-West 11.

Jonathan: *no response*

Pongky: Is this your first trip to the US?

Jonathan: Actually, when I was younger, I spent 6 months touring the US with my father. We went to Utah, drove to LA and San Diego.

Pongky: Who do you think is your toughest competition here in the finals?

Jonathan: USA and Sweden

Pongky: Alright, thanks for taking the time to speak with us, good luck in the final round!

Jonathan: Thank you.

With that, the players had about 10 more minutes of breaktime before the finals started. Though they all were loose and relaxed, I decided not to bother any more of them.
