Angolan Researcher: You shouldn’t tell people here you’re American [here is rural Angola]

Me: Ok, what should I tell them? I’m also Canadian

Angolan Researcher: No not Canadian, tell them you’re Norwegian, there’s lots of them here

Me: But I don’t speak Norwegian…

Angolan Researcher: Neither do the people living here.
