America?....oh, you mean OBAMA

Another phenomenon I have had a few times is having difficulty explaining where I am from.

I was asked, again at the taxi park, where I am from.

I answer, “The US, United States…of America”.

Blank look.

“Canada?”, he asked.

“No, America…”.

“Obama?!”

“Yes, Obama.”.

“Oh, Obama, yes, Obama”

Ha!!

  1. That's so random! Do they just associate us that much with Obama? Interesting. Sounds like you're having a good time :)
