[quote=Anonymous]I grew up LMC and am now UMC.  This is based on the definition of class based on annual income and household size compared to others in your area.  I see there are many other opinions on what class really means though.   I’ve lived in DC for about 5 years and found DCUM.  I had never heard anyone talk about class before.  What is this obsession on DCUM with class?  Do you people also talk about it in real life?

Regarding the topic at hand.  I went to college mostly with people whose parents would have been UMC or UC foreign students.  I learned how to travel from my UMC classmates - hosteling through SE Asia, S America or Europe with a Lonely Planet.  We had an absolute blast and l travelled that way until my mid 30s and had kids.  At work l made friends with some UC people.  They sail and play golf a lot and get there via PJ.  I’m not a golfer so can’t judge which courses are for which class, nor do l GAF.  They’re not skiers. There is variety in UC, just like every other class.    [/quote]
