I have a few more facts for you. So far, I have mentioned various facts from 10 different states. (WV, WY, WA, VT, UT, TX, SC, RI, PA, and OR)
I hope to give at least one fact from each state, so stay tuned. If I haven’t mentioned your state yet, I will eventually.
Then I think I will start mentioning some random facts from different countries.
Oklahoma: Home of the National Cowboy Hall of Fame.
Ohio: Home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
North Dakota: Grows more sunflowers than any other state.
New Mexico: Ancient multi-storied adobe buildings here have been continuously inhabited for over ONE THOUSAND years.
New Jersey: Alan Shepard Jr., the first American to go up into space was born in East Derry, NJ.
What else do you know about these states?
Do you live in any of them?

I've been to 45 states, including Hawaii and Alaska. I've even been to South Dakota twice but never to North Dakota. My oldest son's father-in-law was born in North Dakota and he has a lot of stories to tell. He also owns mineral rights there and now that they are drilling for oil in ND he may come into a lot of money.

@Ronrybs I'm surprised that you were on the West Coast and not the East Coast. California is a LONG way from London. What brought you to California or Illinois, if I might ask.

@IreneVincent I've only been to two States, Illionis and California. CA is my favourite, even though it is too hot for me, even in Spring!

Tell us about Malaysia and the area where you live. I would like to know more about your country.
What languages do you speak?

@IreneVincent I'm in the northern state of the peninsula.
I speak Malay. There are around 1/2 of my villagers who can speak Thai as we're already near the border. They even use it in their daily conversation. I, on the other hand, can only understand a few phrase of it. It's a bother when we're at a feast and they started talking in Thai.

@prinzcy I looked at the map of Malaysia and wondered if you might live near Khiri Khan? I really didn't think about how the northern state of the Malaysian peninsula was so close to Thailand. I enjoy learning the geography of different countries.

Isn't it FUN to learn new facts? Did you read what I wrote about OR? And the sea lion caves?

Yes, I thought so too. American tribal people have been on the North American continent for a long time.
