Vox Pop WORD ON THE STREET
BY MARY ASEARI
If you could go to dinner with someone famous, who would it be and why?
DEBBIE KUNSEI
High school teacher, Rainbow, Port Moresby I would be honoured to have dinner with our founding father, the late Grand Chief Sir Michael Thomas Somare. I have come to learn so much about this great man and would like to listen to his personal account of some of the challenges that he had overcome in bringing this beautiful country to where it is today. WALTER BERVEN
19, Grade 12 student, Hanuabada, Port Moresby I would like to have dinner with Dan Lowes, aka D Low, a famous beatboxer in the UK. It is my desire to meet him because he was the inspiration behind my journey in beatboxing. It would be a dream come true to get to know his style of beatboxing and possibly discuss a collaboration with him over dinner.
LOUIS RONALD
25, software developer, Tokarara, Port Moresby I would love to have dinner with Linus Torvalds, a Finnish software engineer. I’d be keen on hearing first-hand about his experiences and challenges in contributing to the development of Linux Kernel. This is something that most people wouldn’t know of, but it is an operating system powering some of the things we’ve grown to be dependent on, like Android.
ZERLINDA SAM
22, customer service officer, Gerehu, Port Moresby I am obsessed with DC comics, so I would definitely want to have dinner with my favourite DC character, Grant Gustin, because of his role in The Flash. He is a real hero and seems to always see the good in everyone. It would be nice to have dinner with him to see if his character in the movie is the same as his character off screen. GLORIA ALUA
23, final-year English communications student, June Valley, Port Moresby Meeting a celebrity has always been a dream for me. If I could get a chance to meet and have dinner with any known personality, it would certainly be Jason Momoa (Aquaman). I have been a huge fan of his since high school and would love to have a chance to meet him. He seems like a great party guest, and a great conversationalist. Plus, I could tell people about the time I had dinner with the hulking 6-foot4-inch Hawaiian actor.
