    Me too, but it brings me great joy to make the process as tedious as possible for the questioner and go through every single city I’ve ever lived in.

    Most give up by the third or fourth city that isn’t my country of origin.

      How my sister answered the question, when she was a doctor in Wisconsin:

      • (Small town in WI she lived in)
      • New York
      • Long Island
      • Oh well I grew up in Queens
      • …okay we’re done here

        Looks like a Brazilian

        Oh, i was born in Frankfurt am Main, Germany

        I grew up mostly in Brazil

        My father is Brazilian ( a guy very similar to Rutger Hauer, very northern european, the most cliche german in the room )

        Ah, no, my mom is neither, she’s Colombian, born in Bogota.

        I have both nationalities, Brazilian and German - the most “fun” i had with this, was when i was recruited by the military.

        Both countries went “we don’t care, if you already served in another country. If you are german/brazilian and eligible, you’ll be recruited!”

        Luckily i ended up not being recruited at all.
