Grace / South Africa 
What is something fun you can do in my area?
Hello, my name is Grace. I'm from South Africa. And what is something fun we can do in my area?
I would say that is going to quiz nights. I live in a really gorgeous area that's got so many restaurants, and it's got a really lovely feeling. Fortunately, not really where people go clubbing, but for the most part, it's sort of a calm but fun place to be. And I absolutely love going to quiz nights. There's a quiz. There are at least two that I know of. And there are lots of other themed nights at the restaurants, but I love going with my friends and my siblings. And we do quite well, but it's not really about winning. When we do win, it's nice, but it's really just fun to be there with loads of other people having a good time and then just going home.
So quiz nights in my area are fun.
