How do you answer the question.......

[Catnip]

When someone on a cruise (or anywhere, for that matter) asks you, "Where are you from"?, what do you tell them?

Do you tell them really where you are FROM (ie: where you were born & raised?) Or do you tell them where you are currently living?

.......just curious........

We always say where we're from now first, then where we're from originally. Surprising how many folks are from close to one of those areas.

Where I live. If it's someone who would be familar with the area I live in I give the actual city, or for others the closest city they might know, usually LA!

[Lynnees]

Well, I start with where I live now I mean.. Then I have this bad habit of saying where I lived previously, then where I was born. Bad habit I guess.........just that it's different countries.

i always say where i'm originally from. for example, my cc profile lists that i am from yorba linda, ca (right next to anaheim)... but i don't live there currently. i live in west hollywood now, approximately 60 miles north... but i always feel like where i am originally from is my home... thats why i am trying to figure out how to keep my job and move back "home" but somehow i dont think thats possible

Thanks for your replies! I was always curious about that question. I tend to say, "I am from Florida, but I am currently living in NC".

A bad day cruising is better than a good day at work.

 

The worst cruise I ever took was pretty damned good.

 

Platinum with RCI, a couple cruises with NCL and 1 with CCL

 

Clock remove but cruise in Dec

[superjerryw]

If I'm on a cruise and someone asks me where I am from I usually say I am from deck 8 forward...

1st. I say 'I'm from Canada'

 

If they know where that is then...

 

I say ' Im from British Columbia '

 

If they know where that is then ....

 

I say 'Im from Kamloops'

 

 

Usually never gets that far ..LOL

[jstducky]

folgy.. you must not talk to very many hockey fans... the minute i saw that you were from kamloops i immediately thought hockey and i knew it was in BC... don't you have a WHL team up there? and aren't a bunch of current NHL players from up there?

Considering that I only now live about 10 blocks away from where I grew up I am safe to say "Ogden, Utah!" Pretty boring huh???

Superjerry,

That's a great answer! I'll have to rmember that one!

[Catnip]

Folgy,

If my husband was on the cruise with me, he would know about Kamloops! He has signed up for another heli-skiing trip out there next year!!

I was on an excursion once and this gentleman with a not-so-deep southern accent sat next to me and asked me how I liked the trip. Then as I answered he was like "Do you live in North or South Jersey."

 

Crazy.
