Stayin' Classy

So. I did it. 

I'm here and have arrived safely in the U S and A, just like Borat did. But hopefully a lot less messy. 

Meeting various Americans throughout my San Diego/LA experiences these past two weeks has been a pretty entertaining experience for me.

Here are snippets of some conversations that Californians said when I met them:

"Oh my GAD. So wait. You're from LONDON? Like that place in Europe? They speak French in London cos it's close to France, right?"

"That's awsome that you're from London, dude. You're so exotic that's so hot. Hey have you met Hermione Granger?"

"Europeans don't shave right?"

"So, like, do you think that, like, I have an accent? Like, to me, do I sound like weird? Like, cos like I think I just speak normal."

"London as in LONDON ENGLAND?? Oh my gad. So like my best friend's uncle's sister in law had a son who moved to london!!!!!!!!!!!!! (!!!!!!!)"

"NO WAY My friend called Paul lives in London! Do you know him?"
      "Well, what's his surname?"
"What does surname mean?"
      "A last name"
"Oh. I don't know I can't remember. I just thought you might know him"

"So do you guys have posters in your house of the queen and stuff?"

"Wait I can be so good at British. Hey don't walk away...listen!!  Wuld you lek a cuupo tey? How was that? Huh? Huh?"

The funniest thing ever was when a group of Chinese people walked up to me and started speaking English in cockney accents:

"maaaate I love brits man how you doin bruv?"
    "Oh wow! Are you guys from England too?"
"Na lav. We just learnt our English from watching skins."

I laughed so hard at them they just walked away from me thinking I was some rude bitch. But seriously. What the hell.

"Dude you look so cute, is that a romp? I totally love rompers. So in"
        "Erm...what's a romper?"
"The thing you're wearing. A one piece? Why, does romp mean something different in London?"
       "Yeah, to romp someone usually means to have hardcore sex."

"So is your house super small cos you live in a city?"
"Yeah, tiny. I live in a terraced house."
"Wait you have terrorists living in your house?!"
