Today as I was sitting on a bench outside Tomas's (the little boy) school, a mob of giggling 10 year old girls approached me, and one sheepishly said "hello." We procceded (in spanish, seeing how that was the end of their english) and I admitted (as if they hadn't already guessed by my accent) that I was from the US. Upon hearing this, one girl immeaditly shouted out, "DO YOU HAVE SHARKS THERE!" So, with this prompt, I am going to keep an on going list of things, people and objects people have associated me with upon hearing of my homeland... this could get interesting.
When I say USA, you say:
-Sharks
-American Flags
-George Bush (x alot)
-Obama (x alot)
- How I met your mother (the tv show)
- Mc Donalds and Starbucks
- New York, Miami, Las Vegas (all the asians here want to go to LV...)
There will be more to come.. The list is always growing (in size and oddness.)
I can't beleive no one said Allison Porzner.... what's wrong with those Spaniards?? I mean when i hear US -> immediatly i think Allison............ my world is turned upside down.
