Yesterday,
...someone (an English person) stopped Sean and I to ask us where to get a cup of coffee in town and we were actually able to help them.
...One of the moms in the playgroup I attended asked if I was Canadian.
...I saw a Renault Clio commercial that showed a tourist bus driving through Beverly Hills and when it passed, an American guy (who supposedly lives in Beverly Hills) yells to his neighbors that it's okay to leave and they all drive out of their garages in a Renault Clio (economy car). Why Beverly Hills? Why an American actor? Do they even sell Renault Clios in the US? (probably not)
...I watched a 15 minute segment on NASCAR on a British show that actually made me want to go experience the Daytona 500. And I learned more about the Daytona 500 in that show than during my actual trip to Daytona, or all my years living in the US. (Did you know that drivers originally raced in Daytona on the straight flat beaches and only built the racetrack when they ran out of room on the beach? Or that the cars were originally built to ferry liquor across the border during prohibition and they started racing after prohibition ended?)
