Being educated in America, which is heard to even call it that at times, but anyway, being ‘educated’ in America has proved to be subpar in geographical standing. No offense to America, its education system or any American geography teacher. It is just known that Americans rarely know where things are. Take that ingenious beauty queen’s infamous map question’s answer. Check it out. Thanks, Miss South Carolina, for proving my point and so much more.
I’ll admit I knew nothing about anything before I, on my own, pulled out a world map and started to study it. I did not realize what a massive piece of land Australia is until I really took the time to compare it to the United States. Although Australia’s size is closely comparable to the United States, Australia only has 7% of the US population. That means millions more people live in the state of Texas than in all of Australia. The population of New York is more comparable. It is one big country and I only touched a bit of it. I can’t wait to go back and explore all that Australia has to offer. G’Day Mate.
