Re: Where are you from?
That is funny. I have heard jokes about Canadians down here, but mostly with the accent on the vowel sounds (especially the "A" as I'm sure you know). Hockey, yep, that's like my friend from Minnesota (who also has some fun long vowel sounds) who always heard about playing hockey in that state. Being a little country girl from the middle of nowhere USA makes me just a nobody, just a plain Jane. That's okay, I don't care. I loved growing up outside with nobody around. Lots of nature, daydreaming, reading and writing.
It also made traveling to all these exciting places around the US and Europe oh so wonderfully magical! So different from what I grew up with. Like a dream almost.
That is actually how most Europeans and Asians see, little to distinguish one from another. I have a friend I have known since the 70's from Germany who has worked in the travel industry all his life. He has some of the most amazing insights about nationalities, his great comment about Canadians is "very polite, yes, remember they excel at hockey." But, you are right..."ordinary"
