You seem weirdly proud about your lack of geographical knowledge...

I promise the moment knowing where Bangkok is becomes important, I will learn it. Until then it's trivia on par with knowing how many times the word 'Lupis' is said on House. Cool to know, but not important.

I feel like knowing where most major cities in the world are is generally useful knowledge? Unless you never plan on travelling, talking to people who've traveled, or interacting with anyone from a country besides your own.

DA - It's not useless knowledge, but I wouldn't call it more than mildly useful. Not more useful than the approximate three billion other pieces of mildly useful factual information out there, of which we as individuals can only hope to memorize a tiny little sliver.

Unless you never plan on travelling, talking to people who've traveled, or interacting with anyone from a country besides your own.

Lol, could you try harder with this, OP? Like, do you think people travel to Bangkok on foot? Just head out their front door and start along their merry way to Thailand? Because otherwise, why would you need to know where Bangkok was on a map in order to book your tickets and then fly their on a plane? I also have no idea why you would need to know Bangkok's location on a map in order to be able to talk to someone who'd visited Bangkok. You can still listen to them describe the setting, the culture, the landmarks, and the voyage to get there without actually being able to place Bangkok geographically, I promise. And I'm kind of cracking up at the notion that you need to know the geographical location of Bangkok in order to interact with people who were born there. I mean, I'm sorry anon, but when I talk to someone, I talk to them about a wide variety of things. Their country of origin may or may not even come up. And even if it does, I really don't need to know its geographical location in order to express interest in their answer. "Oh, that's cool, what's it like there?" "When did you come here?" "Do you miss it?" "Was it a big change moving here?" "What's the weather like there?" "Do you miss the food?" That kind of thing. None of which relies on me being able to pick the city out on a map.

I meant not knowing that Bangkok was IN Thailand, at all. That's what the person I was originally talking about didn't know, that made me very wtf at her, and also a little smug, because she was the type of person who thought they knew everything about everything.

Essentially, the majority of my feelings on this very particular issue boils down to how much I hate her, as a person - and how much I'll take any opportunity to rant about her, because she made my life hell for about five years.

... And also happened to not know that Bangkok was in Thailand.
