EDIT: Just want to remind the poll is about me, and where you would say I come from after meeting me in real life, I'm not asking where you come from - I see someone said Czech republic in the poll... I probably shouldn't have put that option up
This thread is pretty pointless, but I'm trying to gather some opinions here so bear with me.
The question I am asking here is: If you met me in real life, where would you say I am from?
Here's why I am asking; My father's father was French, but his mother was Half German, Half Czech, he mostly grew up in France with the vast majority of his holidays spent visiting his grand parents in Germany (Both of whom died in the last 10 years, thus I have been able to meet). His parents never married and he wore his Mother's German surname, which he passed on to me. (I'm not going to say it here, but you can easily find out... Hint: It's German for cabbage. Seriously, it is.)
On the flipside, Both of my mother's parents were pure Spaniards, however she was born during her mom's visit to family that had immigrated to South America, and although they went back to Spain straight after, the way things would turn out she ended up going back to the US in her teens and did a good deal of her education there, where she got American citizenship and passed that on to me, making me an American Citizen owning an American passport issued by the US Embassy of Paris. (I have never lived in the US, and only went tthere for a few weeks when I was 3 years old, go figure.)
I was born in Paris, where my mother had gone to for post-graduate courses at the Sorbonne university and met my father, who was just starting his career as a bank manager, and who'd have guessed, eventually the bank he worked at collapsed, and he got a job at a Bank in England, so we left Paris when I was only 6 months old.
My father would then be transferred to his bank's German counterpart, and later back... This type of thing would keep on happening for the years to come; I would even see myself go back to France for about 2 years, but England was by far the place I stayed in for the longest time. Sure this time was not consecutive, but I eventually came to consider English my main language, even though the language we spoke at home was French.
But due to this mix-up of languages, I speak English with a peculiar accent, it isn't distinctively French (especially since I for one say my R's right, unlike most French people attempting to speak English...) but nevertheless everyone concurs that if my accent is to be categorized, it is indeed from France, so I definitely don't sound local here, nor do I have a local sounding name (My parents decided to give me German first name to match my surname)
