((Apparently after more speculation it seems we were both correct. Since I live in the States, I'm an immigrant, but I emigrated here from Ghana.))

((Its really not that noteworthy because I've lived here for 20 years and I'm 24. Though I did live in Ghana for an entire year in 1996. It was fun. I hope to visit again someday.))

((I wouldn't exactly say Exotic, because everyone in the United states can trace back to somewhere. I just can do it easier. Yup I'm Ghanaian))

There are cases where traditions run deep for many generations, which I don't define merely because I don't like getting into case by case scenarios though.>>

((Fair enough. My parents still speak their languages. I can understand my mom's at times, but my Dad's goes totally over my head. I can't really speak anything but english. Ironically people whom have known me for years still ask me the most inane questions about Africa. It kind of annoys me that many Americans speak of Africa like its a single country rather than a continent. Then again, when you think about. The United States is comparable do its sheer size as a country.))

((Well there are slight nuances in speech patterns depending on what portion of the country your in. You will find that certain words have entirely different meanings or be another word entirely by just traveling toa different coast. Think of a carbonated soft drink. Some places call it Soda, Some call it pop. Some say Soda pop. Its funny that you can actually get into a argument about that at times.))
