Others ask me "Do you know Celine Dion?" or do I live in a igloo? C'mon. Do you serious believe these things...?
I know excactly what you mean. Coming from Germany I got questions like: "Is Adolf Hitler still in charge?", "Do you also have trees there?" and remarks like: "Wow, Germany, that must have been a long
DRIVE."
