Golly, I seem to have unintentionally caused 2 whole pages of off-topic ruckus based on my geography comment. Sorry to OP Sophia.
As someone above said, yes, it IS horrifying that so many Americans couldn't locate so many countries on a world map to this day, because we simply weren't taught. I am glad to know that some portions of the country, at least, got some education on the topic. I would LOVE to take an extended course in this even at my age, but I've never found one. The first time I travelled across an ocean, I was 36, and it was only because I was in love with a Belfast man. If not for that one single reason, I'd most likely still be sitting here on my arse dreaming of seeing Scotland in my NEXT life. Instead, I've gotten to spend, in total, more than a year of my life living in the UK over the last 10 years, and have been privileged and blessed many times to travel to the most glorious place on the planet (for me). But the huge majority of the friends I grew up with, never even dream of such things, let alone hold passports to get them there. They look at ME like I'm an alien for daring to leave this hallowed ground. It would be hilarious if it weren't so truly sad to me.
