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.

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Why did you assume it was in Russia?

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... :-)

Us Brits are clued up about not pissing off Ze Germans. Do it too much and you'll end up in a death camp :p 2 World Wars and One World Cup!

At least your curiosity was nowhere near the concentration camps

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.
