I didn't realize Seattle was "Hello Kittyland". Also, I had Chicago in the wrong place this whole time. Here I was thinking it was right on lake Michigan, and actually EAST of Minnesota.

I'd use it as the map for Diana, Princess Warrior, the RPG that treats the present as we treat history.
ReplyDeleteErin: So do I. So do I. It's hilarious when people associate sweden with windmill and clogs, or with watches, "ja ja" and chocolate.
