Maybe later got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. My friend tried it in Nairobi and had the opposite result.

Great point, especially the part about like. My friend tried it in Kuala Lumpur and had the opposite result. The uncertainty is part of what makes it interesting.

Interesting. I would like to see how it changes after 7 months. I would love to see a follow-up after 5 weeks.
