Well, merde.



BTW, Canadians... "poo-TAWN"?
Just French fries and gravy.
Get over yourselves.

Canadians detect my Midwestern accent at the first syllable. Unlike Amurrkans, they hear a "distinctively eastern Asian twang" (not my words). 

 

Though, just now, I wonder how much of that is influenced by the visual, and the comparison to members of Toronto's huge Chinese population.

 

I certainly blend in here. To the "Asian is Asian" many, at least.  Makes me feel comfortable, but insignificant. Also reminds me of my ex's terminal case of Yellow Fever.
