Not that I have a problem with it. So, here's the story: There's seem to be a lot of people in my special ed class who's from up north (New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, etc.) and I don't think they seem to understand my southerner personality and what we like to do a lot here.

I find it easier to relate to Brits, than to Canadians.

I'm from Mexico and I live in California, I grew up in a big city, a metropolitan area.
In california the people of my town are mild, suburbian type. (with their sunday barbeques and saturday-night-get-togethers)
It drives me crazy. I want Opera, an Art scene, music festivals.

I get what you're saying. Hoever, if I think abou it
is not the similarities that make us interesting.
If everybody was the same type,
life would be boring. Don't you think?

as long as i know their language...i mean if i speak it
and personality wise if they're non threatening
(in my head those are people who are overly confident
and chatters alot and critical), it wouldn't matter
where they came from...but they would've to approach
first. i'm fearful of rejection and humiliation.

I actually find it interesting to talk to people from other cities, or even countries. It's fascinating to learn about other peoples lifestyles.
I can't always relate to them, but i'm never short of interest.
