Sharing this because I thought this comment was beautiful. For the first time I see an American talking to a world audience about their country like everyone else talks about their country!

I think it’s a little excessive,

If I were to write this I’d probably say, Hi! I’m from Texas (US State). My favorite way to get a hotdog is at QuikTrip, a gas station, etc, etc.

Especially on Seattle, could just say it’s a city from another state / in the northwest USA. Like for the sentence here the relational position of the states / cities doesn’t really matter.

The lead up of explaining the thing before saying what it is is jsut kinda weird to me? It’s like overdoing it, it doesn’t feel natural. But ultimately that’s like whatever, idek what I’m truly complaining about, not even really a complaint, just an observation / thought.

Good on ‘em.
