My travel update

I find whenever I'm working with Americans in the UK how much they always assume that journeys occur in cars. Similarly when I work in the US it seems to be a natural thing.
I remember, I was down in Georgia one time and staying in a hotel on a line of hotels. Each morning a cop car would drive up and two fat boys would waddle out and pinch donuts from the breakfast bar and do the same hotel after hotel. Given how close these hotels where I would have walked, while these lard bellys drove between each one. Made me laugh.

So American are not differnt than English? Have you been out o fyour house at all?
And only the "elderly" - presumably anyone over 30 are visible during the day. Perhaps it's a town in habitited by young vampires. So the youngest people gather in groups only in the evening!!! Wow - how weird!
And I want to know how was talking to a man "On my laptop". Was this a tiny little man sitting on top of it? Perhaps an alien visitor - which would account for the strange accent - since naturally everyone else in the UK (wherever Dobby is hidden) speaks exactly like an American.
And how is the "currency too high"? Is it floating through the air so far above the ground that you can't reach it? Or could you perhaps be referring to the rate of exchange?
Agree - that the parents tears were undoubtedly tears of joy - to get the weirdo out of town before they had any more complaints from the neighbors. (Especially if Dobby walks around naked everywhere.)

ny- I was in George and Dragon and let a man use my laptop.. -.- The place was crowded and he had one leg and needed to sit down. So he sat at my table with his wife. And when I say elderly I mean 50+. And no they don't speak like Americans, at least not here. The young women have the most annoying accents ever. It sounds like their noses are clogged. A lot of the men talk so fast that it sounds like they're speaking a different language, and I have to keep saying ''huh, huh''. Maybe you're confusing ''sounding like Americans'', to Australians aha! 
emily- No it's not, but I Googled and it looks similar.
bilbo- How else am I suppose to get from one place to another? Walk?! I'm not walking 20 miles and back just to prove I'm not a lazy American.
I don't even know why I bother to come here anymore. You guys have been bullying and nitpicking at every single thing I say. You're rude and judgmental. BYE

That ought to help you Brits narrow down the location. Where is CW when we need him?

Nikki - Liverpool is my bet.
it does sort of describe the accent AND they do tend to speak fast.
that is, of course, if Dobby is actually there and not just enjoying him/herself from some canadian garret.
it was the 50+ = elderly that got me.
I'm in my prime!

He/She could be near Birmingham, or the west Midlands>>
they tend not to speak fast, though, tipsygus, and are generally comprehensible.
i thought of Newcastle too, but the description does not sound like Geordie.

The saddest part iof this ongoing whine that is supposedly a travel update is that our young adventurer has yet to post anything positive about his experience living abroad. Everything is negative or distressful because it is not like home. Why bother is the question?
