Almost everytime Nicky and I are somewhere where they guess which country we're coming from their guess is a somewhat strange one. As they almost always estimate me as being 21 instead of 27 (which I got quite used to and might not be that surprising if you see me), they think judging by our accent that we're Canadian. THAT is a little surpising, none of us has ever been in Canada, nor has spoken with any Canadians. The closest I ever got was the Great Lake District, Northern Michigan, USA. Though both speaking english on a regular basis since september/october last year (2004) and pretending to our accent not directly adressable as Dutch it's a bit strange that it's judged as Canadian. Aparently they don't notice the fact that I have to search for words now and then and make minor mistakes nor do they notice my use of aussie-words and minor aussie accents. Not that it really matters, better being mistaken for a Canadian then for an American or Englishman over here but no matter how you turn it, it remains a quite funny fact...
