i made The Mistake again.
we sat in a circle in a small room, surrounded by germans from a small youth group the other night. we were there to sing, share our testimonies, and build relationships afterwards. after the introduction explaining where we came from and what we were doing it was time to introduce ourselves.
“hi. i’m louissa.” i was then asked to say where home is. “i come from new york.” and in the midst of all the “oohs” and “ahhs” i hastily added, “…state. new york state.“ but at that point i don’t think they were really listening.
oh well. eventually i’ll learn.

I can completely relate to this conversation, it happened to me also when I went to Texas and then Romania this past summer. I was constantly clarifying :P
Oh well.

yea, it’s hopeless after you say, “New York” there’s not a chance that they’ll hear the “state” part!

yeah. i just say i’m an hour from Ottawa; even if i get blank looks from people who don’t know that Ottawa is the capital of Canada, at least I’ve already gotten their attention away from the New York City stigma.
love you!

So, the other day someone was talking to me about Spain. She said something about “Espana,” to which I responded, “In EspanaaaAAAHHHaaahaaahhaah.”
Thinking of you and wishing I could join you in your adventures in Germany:)
