She looks like my roommate, btw.
When can I swing by?
Michigan, but I've been to a lot of places: Ann Arbor is where i lived, but i've been to (rural) Northern Michigan (although decidely republican, people up north were very nice) + Colorado/the ENTIRE West coast (except for Alaska)/DC/Boston/North Carolina (Asheville).
Except, for Asheville, North Carolina, Americans were nice everywhere I went. People weren't bad in Asheville, either, but I just sort of felt *invisible*, besides my stay was brief in Asheville, so I couldn't really judge it properly.
I've been to Canada too (Toronto/Niagara Falls), and i didn't like the people's attitude: they weren't rude, but there was an air of being unwelcome (at least compared to the situation in the US). In the US, I never felt like a foreigner. Never! (well, except at INS entry points).
You went to Boston and the natives were nice to you? Now I know you're lying.
Also, US has limited welfare with encourages integration a bit better.
