Most Geographically Challenged Teams
G.B.:
Linda & Karen: "Where are we going?" "To buy tickets to Kenya, Nairobia!"
Mama Weaver: Lake Pontchartrain. It's one of the great lakes.
Weavers: (To an English-speaking driver in French-speaking Quebec) El rapido!
TAR23 (Forget who): We're going to Dubai! .....Ab- Abu Dubai!
fossil-racer:
Tyson and Sally thinking Portugal is in S.America. :funny:
Platrium:
I'm also a geography nerd. :lol: I memorized the world map and a world atlas out of boredom when I was 7. :funny: I remember back in high school when the teacher gave bonus questions on geography, only I got them correct. :funny:
Anyway, TAR23's Ally & Ashley (or at least 1 of them): "Abu Dubai," and a bonus scene showed how they almost flew to the wrong place. :funny:
TAR22's Chuck & Wynona were guessing for random countries in Vietnam before going to Botswana. :funny:
I'm not sure if this is related, but TAR25's Lisa & Michelle (or 1 of them) said that the sun rises at the west and sets at the east. :funny: :groan:
Also in TAR27, I think there was at least 1 team who thought Amsterdam and Rotterdam are in the same place. ???
Marionete:
Why is every single post in here edited by peach? What the heck did you guys write :funny:
I have noticed a serious lack of recognition for African countries. Perhaps the teams are just excited about going to the continent in general, but I personally find it weird when they treat Africa as a single country in some expressions.. :escape
Aaand I still remember Nick & Vicki's "the country of London" :lol:

Where I live, there are only two geography courses offered EVER, both in high school. One is standard (and very few people take it), while the other is AP, which doesn't delve too much into the locations of places on the map.

How do we solve this problem?
