oh, hooray hooray for the return of the bluedevi travel blog!
I lived in Bolivia for a year once, and was 'American' to most people the whole time, (even my boss, with whom I worked closely for a good 9 months before I realised she was under this misapprehension!) which was quite jarring in some ways and oddly liberating in others- when I made some big cultural faux-pas, I didn't worry too much about the consequences for people's view of Britain because, hey, they think I'm American anyway...
