21. When I started dating my now wife (who is from Oklahoma), she informed me that her friends and family were convinced that Canadians didn’t have ice or toilet paper. They wanted her to ask me about it apparently because they were confused by that. I had never laughed so hard. I mean… it’s Canada… we are ice 70% of the year basically.

24. People generally assume that when you’re from Belgium, you are French-speaking.
While a big part of the country is Francophone, the majority population is Flemish (Dutch-speaking).
I blame this on mostly 3 factors:
- People mainly visiting Brussels (which is bilingual, but has a Francophone majority)
- Americans mostly having been stationed in the French-speaking part in WWII
- Hercule Poirot

25. I’m an American but I lived in Egypt for a while. It’s incredible that more than one American who wasn’t a child asked me if I lived in a pyramid.

27. A lot of people confuse different European countries. For Switzerland, you’re often Swedish. I’d imagine it’s similar for Belgium/Belarus, Slovakia/Slovenia…

30. People think British people are either stiff Upper lip public schoolboys or cockney brick layers/football hooligans. There’s a whole world of people in between! Some of us don’t even like football. One of my friends DOESNT EVEN DRINK TEA! Not sure why she’s my friend, to be honest.
