hello every1! I've been browsing for a while and finally decided to join. I spent time in Santiago back in '07 (lived near PUCMM) and loved every minute of it. I'm planning on going back in August so I'm excited for that.

Looking forward to learning new things and being a part of this informative site!

Jerseyites are like mushrooms....we seem to spring up everywhere (Bergen County)....

HB

Note to those who wonder: Born a hillbilly in West (by God!) Virginia; was moved to Long Island, NY, and then to New Joisey.
Dint git the accent of Jersey Shore characters, prolly due to a prep school edjumacation, wich dint do a whole lot. And all of that was like, I mean, like what? Oh 50 years ago? Oyvey!!!

Hillbilly, take away West Va [oy vey!] and we followed a similar path. Mine was Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau/LI, back to Queens, then NJ [Atlantic County, south of the Mason-Dixon line!] since 1979.

However, no prep school for AE. Still proudly projecting my NY/LI accent, haha.

The first time I spoke to Matilda on the phone [she's a Brit] she exclaimed "OMG, you sound just like American movies!]

The first time I spoke to Mountainannie on the phone [a NYer] she said "Oh it's so good to hear an accent from home!]

Ah, they should have heard me 30 years ago, before the accent mellowed a bit from all the Philly native interactions. :cheeky:
