I wasn't offended or anything, but it's impossible to ask that sort of question without feeling a little stupid. And since my boyfriend is constantly ranting about Americans and how they're always asking him stupid things about England and such, I'm even a little more hesitant than I would usually be.
However, it's become sort of an unintentional custom between Elin and I, whenever our paths cross, to share some sort of cultural quirk that the one or the other of us has never heard of. The resulting conversations are always fun, and so I decided to address my curiosity with a question, in this particular scenario.
I certainly don't think you live on a different planet, and I'm sure there are countless more similarities than differences, but you never know what cute little thing you might learn about some place else.
