I sat with a stranger for lunch today, due to the lack of empty tables at the cafeteria.
We got to talking and she asked me if I was from Brazil (I get that a lot), so I corrected that I was from Venezuela. The rest went something like this:
Lady: you guys have an ocean, right?
ina: actually we have the Caribbean Sea, which is connected to the Atlantic Ocean. Venezuela is at the north tip of South America, across the sea from Florida
Lady: wait… I thought Venezuela was in South America
ina: It is…
Lady: Maybe I’m thinking of Central America
ina: oh yeah, that’s around where Mexico is, Nicaragua, Panama
Lady: No, that’s not it…
Gotta love the lack of geographical reference with which some people roam the Earth.
Happy Thursday, everyone!
