"Where you're from?", they asked, because I didn't sound Californian (according to them, but what do a person taking a picture in front of a tourist attraction knows about local accents :P). And I thought to myself how increasingly difficult is it becoming to answer this question. Where I'm from? Well, that depends. Do you want to know where I live? Or where I was born? Or the countries I'm citizen of having lived there long enough? ;) I was at the Griffith observatory today, clearly a tourist spot in LA, and two Australian-sounding gentlemen asked me to take a picture with their camera in front of the Hollywood sign. “Where you’re from?”, they asked, because I didn’t sound Californian (according to them, but what do a person taking a picture in front of a tourist attraction knows about local accents :P).
