Do You Know My Friend?
Americans are not exactly known for their excellent sense of geography. Late night shows love to ask Americans where things are or have them label European countries on a map, and so many just can’t. Perhaps we just have too many states of our own to keep track of and learn where they are.
These British visitors had a good laugh when a local Bostonian walked up to them and, upon hearing they were from England, asked if they knew her friend in London. That’s the same as asking a New Yorker if they know your friend in Florida. Still, the excitement is endearing.
