WARNING: the most pointless post ever!

lately when people ask where i'm from, i simple reply "portland" and its been causing a lot of confusion.

i guess i just assume people already know i'm from the united states. but that's not true. because japanese people easily confuse the letters l and r "portland" sounds a lot like "poland" to them.

one time, this girl replied to me with "oh! i love chopin!" after i said "portland" (she heard "poland"). evidentially, most people think of the classical musician chopin when they hear of poland (i always thought vodka. hmm.)

i think this is funny because i'm polish, anyway.
