I think that is what some people in America are missing. And they may go from state to state, but something is always not quite right for them. They can find a good job with good money, whatever, but they don't seem to be happy.

I think a person SHOULD move around when they are young and experience the world. Then as they start getting older, they will know what is out there and they will know they are in the right place.

Ironically, I do live in a country apart from my own.

Actually, there are a lot of similarity between the clans of these islands and the tribes of Oklahoma.

I'm not so sure. They might make fun of me for things like pronouncing About "Abaoot" like Canadians, instead of Abaht like a southerner. I told my friend down there that he says "A bat" and he said "Yeah, well that's alright 'cause you say A boat" Hehehe

We'll make fun of you anyway, and if you don't come down we will gossip about you behind your back.

That's alright, I can take some teasing as long as it's all in fun.

Yeah, well I've taken my fair share of teasing that wasn't in fun, too, so bring it on!
