Right about the challenge, at least in English. ... At
least the Spaniards have a solution in their language.
We're "estadounidense." I avoid "americana" when
describing my nationality while there and use that
handy word.

The worst thing is to say you're from "America,"
although most Americans use just that word when inside
the U.S.

Happy Christmas to all!
Ana, from a very cold Japan
