Game 2: Don't Say "Yes" or "No"

yes

In this game I will start by asking a yes/no question about your country. The first person to read it will answer the question in the comment section. The trick to this game is that you CANNOT use the words "yes" OR "no" in your answer. After answering the question, write a yes/no question (not a "wh" question) using "in your country" for the next person. (In your answer don't forget to tell us what your country is.)

Example:
Q: Do people celebrate Mother's Day in your country?
----------------
A: Mother's Day is not an official day off from work in the U.S., but most people pamper their moms by buying gifts or treating them to a day of R&R.
Q: Does your country have a monarchy?
----------------
A: We do consider Queen Elizabeth our queen, but she doesn't have any significant power in Canada.
Q: Is sushi popular in your country?
-----------------
Language Note: This game is useful for speaking practice because it encourages learners to broaden their vocabulary and vary sentence structure when giving an answer in English.
------------------
Let's begin:
Q: Do women in your country typically work outside of the home?
(Remember, you don't answer this question because it has already been answered in the comments. Answer the question from the last person who left a comment. Make sure you are on the last page of comments before you answer and leave a new question.)

I would love to go inside a giant gold one that I sometimes see from the highway. I don't think you can just walk in off the street, though.
