Hump! Stereotype ...
When I visited Orlando, people would ask where I go to school at. So this is one conversation I had.
"Where do you go to school at?"
"Iowa State University"
"Cool, do you guys grow a lot of potato up there?"
I was like, "Uhhhmm that's Idaho. We grow lots of corn, though"
"Oh, you mean the Corn Huskers"
My friend is from Geneseo, Illinois. He always get annoyed by people asking where he is from. EVERYBODY would think he's from Chicago. Geneseo is by the Mississippi River, which is FAR away from Chicago.
One more thing. I am originally from Indonesia. So check out this conversation:
"So, how big is your village?"
I was like, "Uhmm ... my village is quite big, about 5 million people live there, so it's about the size of Chicago"
"Wow .. so you guys have electricity and stuff?"
Yeah, my friend thought that I live in a straw hut
He didn't believe me when I told him that we have skycrappers, internet, BMW, or MacDonalds ...
