It is my experience that people are knowledgeable about the things that interest them.
If geography does not interest them then that's their business.
Let's try not to put our values on other people.
I'm fairly certain that there are fields of knowledge that they posess that we do not.
True. There are good reasons why certain places are well known. A lot of people in Boston will know of Ireland, simply because a significant percentage of the people in the city are of Irish descent. Beyond school education people know places based on their interests and connections.
In my experience most Europeans tend to know the coasts better. Everything inbetween is just flyover country to a lot of tourists.
That;'s not fair! i am a brit, and i love your country, and i can name all states on a good day!! most brits really like Americans, just most cant understand football or baseball (personally i am a Pats fan!) but then you dont understand Rugger (rugby) or cricket!

I agree with everything you have said. America is a continent, so there's enough to see if you think of sites and the variation in topography. I think a lot of Americans want to see Europe because of its history.
Actually, America is not a continent, Europe is.........

Ahhh I see the problem...you don't understand Football cuz you're a Pat's fan!!
Now if you were a BEARS fan, it would make more sense.
We Americans like you too.
Honestly, I think could name all of the European countries and place them on a map as well, Geography is one of my strongest subjects, and I think I'm one of the youngest members here.
I don't think I could name all of the European countries, but I could name a lot of them. I am going to college next year as a Geography major.
