All Dutch city names sound like "Amsterdam" to Americans ;-)

So Thursday night I'm at the Streets for All Seattle kickoff party and this woman I'm talking to asks:

"So where did you live in the Netherlands again?"

Me: "Enschede"

Her: "Oh wow, Amsterdam! I've always wanted to go to Amsterdam!"

Me: "No, Enschede!"

Her: "Amsterdam, right?"
