It’s so fun when you travel to strike up a conversation with almost anyone, since it is just a foreign experience. It’s even more exciting when they are the ones who want to talk to YOU! :)

People in Louisiana are talkative like that, and everyone wants to know your story and where you’re from. It wouldn’t be surprising for 9 year old Cajuns to act like that.

My weekend plans involve a small journey down to New Orleans for a George Strait concert. Nothing as exciting as yours!

Interesting to say the least.

I really hate being labelled when I travel, but I guess I have all of those American jerks to thank. I love being extra sweet when I find out someone “hates” Americans – totally throws them off!

That being said, I’m so glad you haven’t had to experience much of that in Austrailia! It probably makes for a much more pleasant adventure.

Sorry, but I got to defend my national pride here.

Some day maybe I’ll take a lesson on making it.

meaning: we’re nice? we’re wierd? we’re random? i’ll take the first choice.

ooh, ooh, i have a “nice australian” story, too…but maybe that’s too long for this comment on your blog. =)
