My building is planning its yearly International Night, and they put up a poster showing where everyone was from so that people could contact others from their country to arrange their presentation. I'm going to be away that weekend (more details on that later too), but I snapped this photo of the poster so you guys can see where the people I'm living with are from. (Click to enlarge the photo)

South Africa (3)

Wait, are you supposed to get together with your fellow Americans, and put on...what, some sort of presentation about the United States?
ReplyDeleteWhat would you guys do?
I know. You should just show them an episode of "The Wire," and say that's basically what the U.S. is like.
