Where is everyone from?

@Monaschandroff86 I once knew someone from England, who was a graduate student here in the U.S.

One day he found a piece of paper in his pocket on which he had written the single word "Brisbane."

He had no memory of having written it and could not imagine why he had done so. (He had never been to Australia.)

I remember him sitting there, trying to jar his memory, repeating out loud, "Brisbane? Brisbane?"

And that, I'm ashamed to admit, is the first thing I think of when Brisbane is mentioned! 😄

@DrWatson My mother was stationed there in WWII for awhile. She was an aide-de-camp to a general and had to follow him where ever he went in the Pacific theater.

@cherokeepatti why in Australia wasn’t WWII in Europe

@Monaschandroff86 Because the Japanese were encroaching in the area.
