<Meaningless Introduction>

CG: Let me guess where you are from?
D: OK!
CG: Australia?
D: Nope
CG: New Zealand?
D: Nope
CG looks confused
D: Actually I am from England
CG: Daaaamn
D: Don't worry about it, lots of people back home ask me where I am from, and when I tell them London, they say 'OK, but where are your parents from?' - I just have a strange accent, apparently.
CG: So, are you staying at I-House for the English classes?
