What a journey, Yan!

I enjoy watching those sorts of tours on Youtube now Yan!

The area in the top N-E of the USA, called; "New England"...>>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_England
Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island!
Many Immigrants from Great Britain, Ireland, and Northern Europe!
Although most of my flight Sim activity has been spent in the S-W USA, California, etc, I have recently found a soft spot for the USA North Atlantic Coast region, due to my daily encounters with my Youtube Motorcycle Chums from that area!
So much of it is reminiscent of my local scenery area in; "Old" England; trees and vegetation, etc, (apart from our all-encapsulating roadside hedgerows!)
Even the place names and accents are similar and familiar!
...even the weather is the same, especially at this time of the year!

The weather and temperature are all over the place, at the moment, changing dramatically each day!
One day rain, the next day snow, with temperatures varying wildly!

Whatever is happening in New England is probably happening here as well, and vice-versa!...>>> https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/0/hr4

Paul....cool and wet, in old England!... :D ...!

At the start of the 1970s I was living with my Uncle and Aunt in Sanbornton at the end of Prescott Hill Road, across from the back end of the Den Brae Golf Course. When school closed for the summer I took a full time job at TECO (Tilton Electronics); the company closed down a couple decades ago but I'm now located only @ ¼-mile from where it was. A number of Indians have immigrated and I've known some professed Hindus but I never followed a guru -- but NH is where I g-rew up or, at least, started to... someday I may finish the process... hmn... nah, not enough time left.

Indians v Native Americans!

Cause me great confusion!

I make a comment; "Indians drive on the left-hand side of the road".

...but that is nothing to do with the folks who live on the continent of America....

They are Native Americans.

The left-hand drivers come from the continent of Asia!

Why did all this come about to confuse me, and everyone else?...>>> https://www.quora.com/Why-are-native-Am ... ed-Indians

Blame it on a bloke named; "Columbus".... ;) ...!

I don't use the term "Indian" for my Native American relatives; even the old scholastic word 'Amerindian' suggests a relationship no closer than the word Aryan. I only use Indian for persons and things originating in India.
I will sometimes be more specific with a group or tribal name like Cherokee, Micmac, etc. (some of these have various spellings and the commonly known name originates from Spanish, French, English or other tribes rather than the one spoken of; most had no alphabetical writing of their own north of Mexico until after European colonies were more securely established).
