Atlanta, the capital city of the US stage of Georgia, isn't a city that was on my radar. If I think of America I think of New York, Las Vegas, San Francisco, LA... not Atlanta. When I met J, he told me his best friend lived in Atlanta (he's originally from the UK) and he was flying over a couple of months later for a visit. Once it was announced that the World Cup was going to … [Read more...]

I commented to … [Read more...]
