in fact you weren't ? Let's take one US state for example, which officially isn't a country, but can be considered one in the classical sense of the word state. Being a lazy arse, and enjoying my ascetic-ish life style so much, I would rarely travel. It would take a real good excuse to make that giant step.
I thought my new born nephew was a good reason, so got leave, and drove down from SF area where I lived to Irvine where my sister lived to welcome him into the world. Somewhere in southern California, I stopped to refuel, and asked directions to the rest room. The cashier's answer; "We don't do that here !" I nearly went into shock, and had to take deep breaths to control my bladder ! LOL I thought, oh, this is quite unexpected ! Am I in a another country ?
Have you ever felt that way about your country, state, or province ?

I would say that might make some sense, because not only the rest room policy at the gas stations, but the langauge, lifestyles, weather, water usage, natural surroundings, all seemed quite different between North and South California.Sabro said:I think California could benefit from splitting into two states- North and South. Four senators instead of two. Separate school systems, government agendas...Credo quia absurdum
