"Oh you're from New MExico? WOW - your English is really good!" um....
"Oh New Mexico - do you travel to the United States often?"
Luckily it's been years since I've had those mishaps - seems people didn't even realize New MExico was a state until recently 
Movies tend to perpetuate the New Mexico stereotype something awful...believe it or not it's not just a huge barren land w/ nothing but old saloons, ghost towns and dirt roads...
A movie I LOVE but it always bugs me is Boys on the Side...they make Tucson out to be this total nothing antiquated place - house all secluded in the dessert, the festival they go to and the bar in which Jane works...Tucson is actually a city lol....I don't know things like that bug me...  |
 For the record, I think of Taos, beautiful landscapes, and a fairly large artist/weird spiritual things community...
