When I was about 16, I was traveling to the US. I still vividly remember immigration asking me if rollercoasters existed in Europe.

Americans also love asking where you're from, and there's only 2 responses:

  1. Oh yes, I actually have far relatives in Belgium!
  2. Oh yes, I've been in Belgium! Amsterdam is such a nice city.

    It's funny, l vividly remember being a kid, definitely less than 10, and wondering about the prevalence of amusement parks. In my mind, my state had a nationally known park, and then there was Disney.

    The people sorting out your papers saying that is wild.
