Really? Then what will happen if you'll say that you are from America? Aren't you proud of your place? I am not actually from America but I'm a little curious about this.

I am a bit curious as to how would the locals of the island react if one would say they came from America. So, where are you from Bethoven? How did you know Aruba?

I wonder how Arubans' opinions of Americans have been affected by the 2008 Presidential Election if there has been a change in people's opinions at all.
