(Uh ... before anybody blasts me, I AM American.) If you get asked something like that often enough, you learn to be either really nice about it ... or really mean.

Europe or the other one, love it. Actually a lot of Brit's seem to have a hard time distingushing the UK as part of Europe, we kind of are, but on the other hand were separate too. Weird.

Our accents are nothing like European, maybe he had the Australia/Austria thing confused. Oh, us Aussies are used to keeping it simple for the U.S. :P

Being an Aussie who lived very briefly in the States we were often asked where we were from. After saying Australia, we were regularly asked 'So what is it like in Europe at this time of the year?'. Initially we tried to educate the misinformed, eventually when we discovered that this was a common response so it was just easier to make up ridiculous stories about life in Europe. Some things are just way too hard! I wanted to laugh but unfortunately it is all too true. Being an Aussie who lived very briefly in the States we were often asked where we were from.
