Geography lesson

Today I had an unexpected geography lesson during my English lesson. The majority of the lesson was spent around dispelling 3 main misconceptions of my fellow employees. These may sound atrocious to us, but it made me wonder how it sounds to other countries when I ask some stupid shit.

1.) New York City is not the capital of the United States

2.) Brazil is not a border nation of the United States

3.) Haiti is not a country comprised of Chinese peoples

We also talked about Guantanamo Bay, and I discovered that some coworkers thought it was used as a massive slave farm by the United States. They thought we capture anyone we want and turn them into a slave in Cuba. Regardless of opinions, it provided for an interesting conversation.
