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.

Many Americans don't even know their own country's geography -- it's just not taught any more.

Awe. She sounds very nice. Don't let it bug you. Next time ask where the city is located if you aren't sure... :-)

When I tell people I was born in Romania, I've gotten the response of, "Is that in Asia?" quite a few times. A couple of girls also told me that I'm not white because I wasn't born in America. After a while, I just learned to laugh it off.
