I think it's somewhere near Texarkana...

In the course of a visa interview today with two very jovial hmong sisters, I learned of a magical new place in the US.

When asked where they were going in the US, they both paused, with deer in the headlights looks on their faces. So I said, "Okay, you think about that one for a few minutes while I ask you some other questions. But it's an important question, because how are you going to visit your brother if you don't know where you are going?"

At which point one of the sisters got a big smile on her face and said....

"WISCONIFORNIA"

I said "where?"

big smile again..."WISCONIFORNIA, to visit my brother in Wisconifornia"

She was very proud that she remembered.
