Stranger things happen

I was at work yesterday grabbing a coffee when an man asks me for a smoke and politely asks if he can sit at my table. Friendly conversation ensues for a bit when all of a sudden he asks if I am British. I was quiet for what seemed like eternity and just chuckled. I was pretty much suprised. Now this was a new one to add to my list of nationalities. People often asked me in casual conversation, “are you (insert country/nationality here)?” I guess my intonation or accent in English may sound probably off to the common ear… but unfortunately, I cannot say much about that because I don’t get a chance to hear my own voice… but I imagine it must sound interesting. ;)
