So you are a Porto Riquenho and not an Espanhol ?
How in hell did i create the idea that you lived in my neighbour country ?

Let me go back to square one; i have found the following by coincidence. Remember ?:

I'm am eclectic combination of Galician, Basque, Asturian and Lionese. But that's too long to say, I guess that Spanish-American is more practical.
Now, besides the vino, tortillas and chorizos, I also enjoy Fried Chicken, Pizzas and Apple Pie...
Vive la difference!


So

I'm originally galician, but I have lived in PR for many years, one of many places I have been.

I sincerely believe that when you live in a country, whether you are born there or not, the local culture and mores rub on you, and by virtue of this you become part of that country. So I guess that in that sense, yes , I'm also puertoriqueno, just like I also am a Yankee-Doodle-Dandy, to boot!

Cheers
