I consider myself a "Northerner" amongst all the Southern "Folk"-ers that surround me. Ever hear the term, "I'm surrounded my morons"? I'm living it. ...so i just answer, whenever anyone asks, "I'm Hawaiian". Saves me alot of explaining... What do you call someone who speaks multiple language? Multi-Lingual. What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bi-Lingual. One language? American. “Where are you from?”

You should've just said the truth; you're an American who now lives in Germany but moved from Holland... you're from Amgerand! At least you only have difficulty with one of those questions; i hate being called on before an audience, one because i don't look entirely English but have lived here my whole life, but two, they always ask your name, and Javid isn't a name people get right in a quiet conversation yet alone in a noisy audience situation. Sometimes i wonder why i dont just go by an alias when it happens; it would be so much easier! "I'm Jack!".
