"Wanna come with?" "Excuse me?" I said. I had never heard that expression in my entire life...and I'd heard a few. One of my favorites from the Aussies is "Good on ya mate!" I was soon to discover that this simple turn phrase, used liberally in Minnesota, is just one of the many ways they show their friendliness. It was my first time to the state and it was turning out to be fantastic!
