I always laugh when people say that Bali is a country, when they ask "where are you from?" I answered "Indonesia" they are confused, and say "where is Indonesia? is there on the African continent?" I just sighed ... Dam said "do you know Bali?" finally he realized and said "oh I know ... Indonesia is in Bali right?" lol

Don't take it to heart. You find stupid and/or uninformed people everywhere. I'm German. The fact that Germany was divided after the Second World War into the German Democratic Republic (the former Soviet sector) and the Federal Republic of Germany (the former American, British and French sectors combined) and then reunited again in 1990 is too much for many people.

yeah the information is very important, by the way I understand very well about german friends, I hope that in the next few years I can go there ... I'm obsessed with the history there, especially when Germany was still Königreich Preußen

Worse than that by far is that a lot of people think that Scotland is part of England/ Now that is really bad

@JimBo452020 Yes, I know that. I quite understand the history there The rivalry in the world of football between England and Scotland has always attracted me. I'm also a fan of Jimmy Johnstone, jock stein and for sure my idol as a Manchester United fan, that's Sir Alex Ferguson!

My Aunt lives in Bali too!! But this is so true. One time I told someone I was Lao and typically people don’t know where Laos is so I just say it’s right next to Thailand. This girl looked at me clueless and was like I’m not sure where that is. I was flabbergasted lol!

To be honest, I didn't know Laos was a country. I think Laos is galangal. because at my place Laos is galangal haha. I just know Laos a country from football. because we often face their fellow Southeast Asian regional countries

@Roviansyah I get that! Laos is a little known country so I understand that people don’t know where or what it is, but Thailand is pretty well known! We have Thai food all around in the US!
