one american i talked to didnt know what NATO was
another didnt know what norway was, one didnt know what scandinavia was
one said "whats sweden?" when i explained what norway is
all this is real
one thought germany was a "small" country, then i explained germany has 80 million people, and he said "yeah, thats what i said, its tiny" then i asked how many people he thinks america has, and he said "probably billions"
ive had americans ask me if we have cars, if we have tv, if we have sodas and if we have chocolate
one asked me if we have cellphones.
that would have been ironic, considering sweden and finland produces some of the best selling phones in the world, and norway developed a lot of cellphone technology, but its sortof just sad, cus the same people dont know what sweden or finland is

In college ( yes, this kid made it to college) there was this one guy that wanted to know what the difference between Poland and Germany was.
so, we explained it to him
It just confused him more
So, we started to explain the difference between eastern and western europe.
You know wht he said ?
"what does Germany and Poland have to do with Europe ? I thought you said these are all different countries"
we just gave up after that
YES THIS WAS COLLEGE
