Actually, I was going to make the same point as Bunny. There's a hilarious version of this known as "How the US sees the UK" that I ran across once. Or I might have done it myself. I can't recall.
Yeah, so? That's how I see America, too.

You have now had yet another insight into how Europeans feel whenever we're used as a plot device, Scene and/or mentioned by a US tourist.

I'm tempted to use this as a basis for a role-playing campaign setting, if I could just figure out how...
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.
