Bragging Rights: I joined the anti-apartheid movement in the mid-to-late 80's, started law school when I was 17 years old, and learned to assimilate in a different culture from my own. (Not sure these are bragging rights, really.)

Hobbies/Personal Interests: Skiing, playing tennis, hiking, traveling, reading, cooking, getting more and more fascinated by American history as I keep revisiting it.

People Might Be Surprised to Know That: I was born and raised in Switzerland, but spent three years in San Francisco where I went to preschool and kindergarten. Promptly forgot English when we resettled first in Vevey (famous in the U.S. because of Charlie Chaplin and his family's residence there, now a museum worth visiting), then Lausanne (known for being the HQ for the International Olympic Committee, which also has a museum that is also worth visiting).
