Today, I had lunch with an attractive foreign exchange student from Dresden. After bombarding her with questions about Russia, she smiled and kindly told me that Dresden is in Germany. Everyone laughed. FML

In my defense, when she said, "Dresden is in Germany, Sweetie." I knew exactly where it was. My cousins are from Leipzig. I guess her accent just made the name sound funny. But thank you all for adding your two cents about the American education system.

That should have been one of your first questions.

Sad no one knows where Dresden is. The bombing of Dresden actually killed more people than the US bombing of Japan.

Dresden bombing killed ~25,000 people. Hiroshima bombing killed somewhere between 90,000 and 166,000 people, Nagasaki bombing killed 60,000 to 80,000 people. 25,000 is less than that. :[

Even if her accent made it sounds funny, it is always safer to ask where they're from. Either way, accidents happen! Hopefully she saw this and let it slide.

There's a huge difference between German and Swedish accents.

On the plus side, OP, I'm sure you will never mistake the location of Dresden again!

Mistakes are made, OP. Just do your homework next time.
