Hi guys, my name is Dana. I'm 28 years old. I'm from Kazakhstan, Almaty. Far away but fun place to live. I used to study in high school as an exchange student for half a year in Alabama. It was the only experience I had in the USA. Whenever I say to someone that I studied in Alabama, majority of American citizens start to laugh at me..I wonder why???
Therefore, now I would like to make friends from other states and compare how are they different with their life styles..
I can tell you about our country or Almaty city if you want as well..

Hi Dana, you can email me and I can help you. I'm an American and headed back soon for film work, but traveling as you can see.

So people in Alabama laughed at you....Happens--but not all over the US. I lived in The South and it's just like visiting a foreign country sometimes and they don't see that much diversity but the rest is pretty ok. I can do tours, give advice etc.

They probably laughed at you because, to some people, the south is a big joke. Not all people here are like that. I'm from Texas and I'm sure people who are not from Texas would laugh at me, and have laughed at me. It just has a lot to do with the fact tht a long time ago, much of the south was uneducated farmers. They're no longer uneducated, but we still have distinguishable accents and a lot of farmers.

@Danchella My name is Harvey Kidman, age 79 US Citizen. While in High School and college had the opportunity to receive an ESL, English as a Second Language certificate and have worked, visited and lived in 114 countries so far. I currently hold a PhD in Project Management and it has allowed me to travel and work in many situations. I was born in Minnesota and moved to South Dakota a neighboring State after completing High School. I have been involved in the education field in many ways. Kind of followed our US wars as a civilian, from teaching English to pilots in Vietnam, doing Government research in Iraq to managing a vocational technical school in Afghanistan from 2008 to 2016. My next project may take me to Dubai.

If I can be of any help just ask. Have a Great Day. Harvey

@Danchella Hello Dana, my name is Mathieu, I'm from Paris, France, living in Miami for almost 5 years. Life is great here but not easy to make friends.

Have you been to Florida ?
