Lower your expectations for jr high geography knowledge.
When asked, "What is a country you'd like to visit?" the following were popular answers
Europe
Alaska
Paris
Rome
Jabuti
California
None of which are countries. Hopefully you already knew, although I did have to look up Jabuti myself.
i love Djibouti!
ReplyDeleteSo I've never heard of Jabuti or Djibouti. What is it? And hey, it's not just the kids.
ReplyDeleteAmericans in general don't know their geography. Just ask Leno.
My roommate in college was from New Mexico and our peers at BYU often thought that was another country...
ReplyDeletePretty funny, though!
Nice. Two states, a continent and 3 cities....!
ReplyDeleteWell, technically the Republic of Djibouti (pronounced Jabouti) is a country. Whose capital is Djibouti. Heh.
ReplyDeleteSo, kind of?
I think the "Jabouti" kid may have been trying to make a joke... as when the word is said out loud (depending on how you pronounce it), it sounds like 'the booty' or 'ya booty'.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Emily Z. Technically because when asked which country they want to visit, One can only assume that they did mean Djibouti the country and not the city. So, score 1 for the people who were thought to be dumb. Im surprised Africa wasn't on there.
ReplyDelete7th grade Geography we all hear of Djibouti and fell in love.
