The title speaks for itself... Post here any stories (that are true please) related to people's ignorance in the field of geography which ends up in a comical conversation or act.
My examples:
Once a European citizen (I think he was from the Chech Republic or something like that) asked my aunt if there where any crocodiles in the river (Valdivia River). Of course our beloved ignorant friend here, did not know that South America isn't all just like Brazil... We do not have crocodiles.. nowhere in Chile! (at least not naturally.. obviously we do have some in zoos)
Another example of Geopolitical ignorance:
A group of european geographers came here to do some reserch, and they came more prepared and stocked like they where going to be in a jungle .One had a baby and brought a huge cargo of diapers, I mean... HELLO! we do have diapers too you know! It's not like we lived in the trees and stuff like that!
BTW does anybody know how can I make a faster coconut computer? mine is so slow that I can go jump a few trees and visit some other neighbors on other trees before it finishes to load the cyburbia page
