RE: Two Frequent Questions About the U.S.
As a South African living in England, I have been asked some strange questions. 1) Did I live in a mud hut? 2) Did lions and elephants roam my neighbourhood? 3) How can you be white and an African? These are just a small selection
Yes, I get it. I'm ashamed to admit that many many years ago when I was still very young, I asked a new German friend living in Los Angeles whether Germany had escalators. She responded very sarcastically - something about using their wings!!
I can imagine that happening. Although I must say that the frequency of those sort of questions has lessened over the years. I think it is the fact more and more people travel, and the growth of social media.
