I knew you thought I was Portuguese last year because I logged in from Lisbon when I first came to the forum and had not changed my privacy settings yet. But according to that logic, if I had come to the forum now you would be telling me about your historical knowledge of the opium wars...
(Also, and for the record, I don't like my nationality and place of living to be public information on the internet.
)
No reason to feel bad though, I don't know many people who are very knowledgeable about the history of either of Europe's edges.
