Friend: Oh. Poland. Did you see any Polar bears?

Me: Erm...



When I came back from Ottawa, Canada

Friend: Where is Ottawa?

Me: In Canada. It's the capital, actually.

Friend: Oh, you're wrong. The capital of Canada is Toronto.

Me: Actually, it's Ottawa, although most people are more familiar with Toronto. I visited the Parliament when I was there.

Friend: That must have been the American Parliament, because the Canadian Parliament is in Toronto.

Me: Erm...



When I came back from Seoul, Korea

Friend: So did you speak much Chinese when you were there?

Me: No, I went to Korea.

Friend: Oh. I thought you spoke Mandarin and Cantonese (Chinese dialects)

Me: I do, but I went to Korea and they don't speak Chinese.

Friend: Yes they do. It's not like you went to Japan or anything.

Me: Erm...


When I came back from Guilin, China

Friend: Where is Guilin

Me: No, quite far actually.

Friend: So, did you see any Samurais there?

Me: Samurais??? Why would I see Samurais in Guilin?

Friend: Isn't it a remote area in China?

Me: Erm...sort of untouched. But ermm....Samurais are from the last few centuries ago. From Japan.

Friend: Really? But I just saw them on TV the other day.

Me: Erm...
