I got em all down. I kick ass.
I'm starting to fare well on the advanced levels. Those drag-rotate and drop ones.

Yeah, I was on sume club holiday on the Greek island of Kos a few years ago and a German guy I met there said he was in a similar club in Fuerte Ventura the other year, which I knew was part of Spain but didn't know exactly what part. He didn't know either and I only later found out that it was one of the Canary islands all the way out in the Atlantic! And he didn't seem to have known that.Ted said:Unfortunatly this goes not only for the Yankees. I taught geography (I recently switched job) and came to the conclusion that topography is a rare trait. Last year a tv host went to a popular location in Spain and asked the Dutch people, who spent their holidays there, where they were. Most of them could not pinpoint Spain and disturbingly many didn't have a clue where Spain was in Europe... not even close.
So it is wide spread and this is just the beginning.
Thank you Loki. The last dozen of posts have confirmed my opinion.loki said:A few months ago there was some program on french-german tvstation arte where they asked french people what countries border to Germany and vice versa. It was really funny because they showed a map of Europe and highlighted the countries mentioned. Hardly anyone did all correct and there where some french that believed Germany bordered on Russia and some germans that thought France and UK had a common border, France borders on Sweden and so forth.

It is an extremely common cliché in old envious Europe that the Americans are ignorant and would not be able to find a country on a map.
I would really like to see how many Europeans would be able to find Hungary or tell Lithuania from Belarus or Bosnia from Croatia or Belgium from the Netherlands or how many of them would with no doubt find Slovenia on a mute map of Europe.
Let alone rest of the world.
I believe out of 100 Europeans barely 15 % would be able to find Iraq on a mute map of the world.
So please.

Plus, it'd be so fun to take him on a cruise in Italy from Naples to Tehran

Hmm Kuwait, or Q8. That's where those gas stations were from. That's probably in Texas, right? It all makes sense now. Saddam invaded Bush's home state, so he had to get him back!MightyMacbeth said:its strange..
sometimes they know the contry, but not really the location.. Like they know "Koweit" but not where it is heh.. French people that is..

Nope. I wasn't there myself but my cousin is not usually known to exaggerate stuff. Maybe he misunderstood some of it.Ted said:You are joking right?
