Country:  | They did a study in the world and the US was the country who knew the least about South Africa and Africa.
Now my friend was in the UK and there were some US guys and they asked him where he came from. My friend said from South Africa. The US guy said, why do they call it South Africa is it not in the northen part of Africa.
They marked Australie as South Korea. Now I know a bit of geography, but that is plain stupit.

Country: | of course. but once I was in in England, somone asked me where do I come from.
"Czech Republic"
"Ah, Cherrepubla, of course I know.... Where actually is it?"
"A bit East of Germany"
"Ah, Germany, of course! So your from Germany?"
It really depends on how much the guy is educated.
I'm sure 1/3 of my classmates would look up Philippines on the map, and if would be mispainted as Japan, like in the clip, I'm sure they'll pin it. | |

Country: | Now we did not have such stupid people in my Geography class, we know where most countries are. I do not know where every country is, but I kind of know where on the world mad they are.
My friend knows all the countries in the world and where they are. That smart sun of a gun he was number one in the school.

Country: | Becuase for them whole Europe (except "the 51st state" - UK) is kinda wierd museum... You know, it is even in the EU. When our governemt made a research what EU citizens outside the Czech Republic know about it, the outcome was that Czechs are "nice but primitive people, whose main industrial branches is oil and sun dial"
...which is a complete ****, of course.  | |
