I'd say 85% of the time I'm asked by koreans what country I come from I get the same stock response:
"Aaah England- gentleman!"
Are there a whole gamut of these for every country out there? |

Canada. Not the same as America?
No. Bigger. Colder. Un-armed.

I just hesitate, debate whether mentioning it, and if I do, I just get silent static across the radio that is international communication.
"I'm from America."
"Oh..."

I always tell the truth.
"Where you from?"
"I'm from Africa." [I pronounce it AfRika]
.... stunned silence.... |

"Canada? Good," they say with a pleasant surprise and assertive praise.
Then I try to explain my home town as being a few hours from...
"Vancouver! Oooooooooooooooooo," they say with what can only be described as a mild orgasm. |

"Where are you from?"
"Canada."
"Oh..very good. Vancouver?"
"No, Saskatchewan."
"Where?"
"Saskatchewan."
"City name?"
"No. Province name. My city is Saskatoon. Saskatoon, Saskatchewan"
Confused silence.
