One thing that always bothers me about this country is how little its citizens understand about how the rest of the world works. Not that they've ever thought to try and visit it, of course.
It takes time and an attention span to learn about other countries in the world. I didn't know that the Dominican Republican has a Chinatown until someone I know from that country told me about it.
What drives me up the wall is how most Americans can't find Guatemala, Syria, France, or the Ukraine on a world map. I can understand if you have trouble finding Dominica, Barbados, or San Marino on a map, but the Ukraine?
