If there’s one thing I’ve learned on my travels, it’s that people have no idea where St. Louis, Missouri is. While I don’t blame the Europeans for their ignorance (it’s not a particularly noteworthy city, after all), I always feel a bit baffled that nobody seems to have the slightest idea of where Missouri is, except “the Midwest”— which, as the common conception goes, is a barren wasteland of cornfields with bitterly cold winters. Living in a hilly, forested area where snow falls only about five or six times a winter, I find this amusing.
My sister sent me this YouTube video that pretty much sums up the way Californians seem to react about anywhere outside of California. I laugh every single time I watch it.
