I never cease to shake my head in wonder when people ask me where I live. I tell them, "The Upper Baja" and they just stare at me. These are people that live in San Diego...15 miles from it and they've never heard of it. Unreal. I can understand someone from another country not knowing, but c'mon, if you live less than 50 miles from a place, you should know where it is.
I am no expert on world geography, but curiosity keeps me going to a world map to see where some new country I never heard of is located.
I'm sure that geography is less important than many other things, but knowledge in general is a good thing. Besides, I already feel dumb enough around the likes of Colin. :P
