What Not To Do In Guatemala

1. When a girl tells you she´s Swedish, don´t say, ¨Yeah, I`ve met many Swiss people here.¨ (I did it.) They don´t like that.

2. When people ask where you´re from, don´t answer, ¨I live in this state, but I grew up in this state.¨ (I did it.) They don´t care. To them the US is made up of 5 states: New York, California, Texas, Florida, and Delaware. (just kidding about Delaware.)

When your last name is Trzcinski, don't say that you're Irish.

I'm not a girl, but I'm Swedish, and all I have to say is...don't worry about it. Most Hungarians make that mistake at some point.

Sometimes I tell people I'm from Indiana in hopes they'll think I'm Indian, native or otherwise, but I look so freaking German that they always just end up looking very confused. So then I say I live in Disney World and that makes sense.

My wife says she knows plenty of Euro's who think Chicago is a state, so don't feel too bad.
