chwank143, how is it that i basically know no one from the middle of the US?? Or my question would be do people from your place not have contact with people living on the east coast??? :) But now i know that there are people living in South Dakota and since i know they are a lot and due to the number of nepalis living there i guess it can't be considered "the middle of nowhere" cause for some it might be the middle of everywhere (wink, wink) right chwank143??. i guess now i have to take back that "who lives out there in the middle of nowhere?" question (wink,wink) :)
