Why would anyone quiz someone like that ??;; If I knew about something and it was apparent that the other person didn't know anything about it, I wouldn't quiz them.. it seems a bit rude.

I think there is a saying that there is no shame in ignorance but shame in not trying to learn. (not sure the exact wording because I heard it in Korean). And you seem like a person who is eager to learn, so there is no shame in what happened. :D

I hope you have good time in Korea!


becouse it is fun .i always teas one guy about basic everest camp at 10 000 metres and ceylon near korea.

Lot of Europeans think that Americans suck at geography and you proved that dude right haha ^^ but why don't you get back at him by asking him about geography in the US... I mean it's not strange that you arent as familiar with European geography, but calling Africa a country was kinda dumb xD

But look on the bright side, he exposed a weakness in your general knowledge and now you can improve it... No harm done right?


You proved it by assuming denmark is US xD


i am going to shoot my self .

I think I've had to study close to every Country (with often capital) of the world in elementary school and a little bit in middle school. But a week after that I had already forgotten most of it...

I didn't know that Oslo was the capital of Norway either :D I am terrible at geography too, distinguishing the Nordic countries is already enough of a pain in the ass for me :<

Better is Europa Universalis. That's where I got all my knowledge of the middle ages >:-)


Doesn't work if your good at it (NA/SA and all these countries are just conspiracies, it's the new switzerland) .

I once mistaken slovenia for slovakia... Was trunk.. Still felt horrible... In the big picture.. I'm not "great" at it but normally i can tell what belongs to what and where it is .

We always had a world map on the wall which helped a lot as well to clean up the bits like that :DD

I think I'm somewhat decent at it. I remember in 5th grade one of my teachers made us remember the capitals of all the states. Outside of the U.S., I know the capitals of a few countries, but I'm definitely not the best at it.

I even forgot the capital of a Dutch province (we only have 12). Well who gives a fuck about Drenthe anyway?
I'm pretty good at geography but there's always some you "should know" that you forget. You don't use this information all that much.

I remember playing a game as a kid, learning all the capitals of the european countries. Was one of those games I could play on the computer as much as I wanted. (with 2 hour week limit on the others) Europe has changed a bit since then though, but I'm happy I had a game like that. Geography was so much easier in school. Though I'm quite weak on US states, African, Asian & South American capitals including some countries.

I actually have no idea either at one time I couldn't even remember all 12 provinces lol. I am significantly better at european geography though since that's a lot more useful and interesting IMO.
