...I'm there.
At the moment I'm in Medford in Boston, and this means that I'm probably not going to be moderating at all for this time.
I'd be interested to know if anybody is near here so that I can burn down their house/kill their pets etc. (Yes that was a joke).
And has anyone ever had to pass through customs and immigration as a non US Citizen/Resident? God they're intimidating! Made me feel like I had something to hide - took my fingerprints and photographed me. It doesn't feel good to have my fingerprints on file in the US having not done anything wrong.
Oh well, I'll post in this thread later (maybe).

I've been there 6 times, yeah I had my fingerprints taken too but whatever, it's not like I was gona do anything wrong. Like, I wouldn't want to have an intruder in my country not knowing if he has bad plans or not. The thing I hate the most about the thing when ur not Citizen/Resident is that it takes a lot of time to get trough that airport.

I see. Well, I'm in New York City at the moment, in Times Square (Oh yeah). I doubt that I'll be able to take time out of my busy schedule of being a tourist to be making any detours to commit acts of arson.
One thing I've noticed is that New Yorkers are quite friendly - something I was told was not the case. Oh, and Eastern American suburbs all seem to look like the set of Desperate Housewives, what with Dutch colonial style buildings and stuff. I've spent some time at the local boat club as the guest of the people we're staying with, and I have to ask the question: Are Americans really this friendly?
Everybody seemed to want to shake my hand, and when I came back later in the day, word had got out that the English guy was in town and all the 12 year old girls seemed to come crawling out of the woodwork to surround me in what was a half-amusing, half-disturbing situation where they asked me such questions as 'Do you have food in England?' and 'Are you the guy who plays Ron Weasley in Harry Potter?' I mean, wtf? Apparently I sound like him, which just isn't true.
Oh well - that's enough from me. America seems great.

These questions are disturbing. And they all want to meet you because you're the english king of pop. The english king of pop is prettier than the american one. Canada's king of pop is Mike.

You can't really stereotype a whole continent nice or mean. =/ All my friends are nice well on the other hand other people at my school are mean.
This reminds me when a kid from Chile came to my school. I ended up becoming really good friends with him but, people would ask questions like that. They think because your not from America that you live in a 3rd world country.
I think that those people are extra nice to you because your from another country and that fascinates them. xD

Hey, atleast the questions are better than the "Canadian" questions.
"Do you live in a igloo?"
"What's whale blubber taste like?"
"How cold is it up there?"
"SAY ABOUT!"
"You guys all speak french and drive on the wrong side of the road up there in Canadia?"
I typically reply with, in order.
No.
No.
Hotter than it is here. We get 110 degrees.
