Ronaldo from New York.

Amsterdam,

This is Ronaldo from New York but who originated from that American protectorate called Puerto Rico in the Caribean, whose parents decided that chasing the American dream can be best done on real American soil, not the soil of an American protectorate where the streets of the local villages were dusty and filled with rusty Buicks that Al Bundy from All In The Family would have been jealous of...

So our Puerto Rico Amigo Ronaldo grew up in the violent world of the Bronks in New York where violence was as rife as the aforementioned Buicks in his native Puerto Rico, where the cops - he called them Pigs and Swines, sometimes lapsing into his Mother's Spanish and refering to them as Puercos Fatsos Y Gordos, obviously having grown a distinct hatred for them...

Drawing Ronaldo and listening to his stories of his childhood in the New York Bronks, his contacts with the American constabulary, it seemed obviuous to me his parents never found that American dream they were after when they took that plane to the American main land...

Hope at least you liked the Anne Frank House, Ronaldo, and thanks for your time...and stories...
