Tell me about it David. Yo vivo en San Diego. Me mude para aca from the heights last year, y no sabes, me confuden con todo menos con dominicana. un dia un muchacho me dijo 'you have a sexy accent, where are you from? and i said "I'm from the dominican republic" and he looked at me like "What?" and the guy then said, "oh, so you're dominican republic!", I couldn't contain my laughter and I just cracked up, and I responded, "actually, I'm dominican-democrat"

u'd be surprised how bad people are about geography in the USA. anyway since then on, when people ask me where I'm from, I answer, "I'm from where the best baseball players come from." You have to see the look on their faces. It works everytime like a charm. Cuidate y cogelo suave. Educate them!
