    An Observer got a reaction from Northvansteve in NEW Mother of all Canucks Abroad (and domestic)   
    This reminds of a party I was at years ago in the UK in London where I met a few Italians and they asked me where I was from...and I said near Toronto but probably pronounced it more like Toranna.  And they asked me what it was like there...and I said it was very nice, clean, some cool bits, etc.  And they kept saying they had heard very bad things about it...finally after a few minutes back and forth, I realized they thought I was talking about Tirana, Albania!  I learned my lesson after that to always pronounced the final T in Toronto when I was in Europe. :-)
     
    Btw, been to Taranto...not a bad little town...the whole region of Puglia is probably my favourite part of Italy.
