Little Kid

So... in New York specifically, I turn in to a little child. I'm eager to learn about everything, and ask anyone who's been here longer than me (read: everyone) all sorts of idiotic questions as soon as they pop into my mind. "Whats HSBC stand for?" "Why is new york traffic so ephed up?" Yadda yadda yadda, you get the idea. I'm grateful for all of my surrogate parents out here in the big (huge) apple. Thanks.

In 1986, HSBC Canada acquired the assets of Bank of British Columbia, but contrary to popular belief, BC does not stand for British Columbia. HSBC stands for Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. The bank is the third largest corporation in the world in terms of assets (thanks wikipedia).
