last year i met a guy from the united states. he had an exchange to hamburg, germany. we were talking and he told me, that he was wandering that we have cars in germany. he thought we still cook our food on a camp-fire. and many other things. he told me that a lot of his friends think about germany that way.
the most annoying thing was that he thought that everything in germany looks like bavaria.
and another thing i have recognized was that he couldn't seperate between the european countries. he didn' say england, sveden, poland ore even germany, he always said "europe"
why is it that way? was this guy a total dumbass or do you don't learn bout other countrys in school?
