NY is an amazing place, apparently as viewed by everyone in the world. Here's a cute story my son told me the other day.
My son lives in S. Korea. He's made quite a few friends over there, both Korean and 'others'. His group of friends includes those from Australia, England, Africa, China, S. Korea (of course) and many more.
The 'group' was out one night recently and they collectively met a group of locals. One of his Korean friends basically took charge of introducing the two groups of people. As they went around introducing everyone, the person taking charge of the intro's gave the name and home of each individual. They would say (names have been changed to protect the innocent

) Simon is from England, Syong is from Korea, Rick is from Australia, Francine is from Italy, and Adam is from New York. :lol2: Everyone else was introduced by name and home country except my son. Adam was introduced by name and then by city.
According to my son, the people in the town he's living in (a small country town), Sangju, are in awe with those from the US and even more so with those from NY. Introductions such as the one described above aren't uncommon to Adam anymore. He was taken aback the first time it happened, but that was six months ago. So ReeferGirl, hop a plane and common on up, join the rest of the world.
