Yeah there was this news story a long time ago of 2 girls that were stuck on an elevator in Lisbon (Portugal). Apparently they looked up some number on their phones for Lisbon but since they were from the US it suggested some random city named Lisbon there. They spent a lot of time trying to explain where the elevator was located until they realised it wasn't the same Lisbon.
(I think it's a true story. Might just be an urban legend from Lisbon I guess ๐คทโโ๏ธ)
I wouldn't be terribly surprised. I grew up in Geneva, but I lived in Oviedo when I was in high school.
I've lived in central Florida my entire life.
When I was starting at a new job I mentioned that I grew up in Geneva. The person I was chatting with were curious and asked what it was like growing up in Europe. I responded that if I was raised in Europe I'd never live in Florida. Geneva, FL is a fucking armpit.
i also thought you moved to FL to start a job
I couldn't imagine. I very much want to leave.
