International Travel Tips : Learning How to Read Maps

Maps are always orientated so that when the map is open, the top of the map is going to be north, while the bottom of the map will be south. Look for a legend on a map to assist in the navigation process with help from a travel agent in this free video on international travel tips and preparation.

Americans are so incredibly stupid. They are all like toddlers.

Thank God I'm European.

[vDelta1352v]

Oh so the blue is sea! I thought it was a design

[shisha86]

haha, is this for retarded Americans? lol

[kerenOBrownsville]

Hey European - it is stupid to generalize and call an entire nation of people stupid, and it IS stupid to poke fun at people who are attempting to educate themselves. Am I incorrect in thinking that all Europeans are snobs?

@nubsobil

Hey! That's insulting! I'm American, and I can tell you we are no more stupid than Europeans are! Stupidity doesn't have national borders, meaning it can happen in ever culture in the world. Yes, that does include Europeans, as proven by YOUR comment; and yes, I did just call you stupid. Now, I'm going to go back to my T.V. Productions project, have a nice life.

@nubsobil, right...how funny that you would not only stereotype 300 million people but all the hundreds of millions in Europe, also. If you don't know what a national education is then thinking that your education is somehow superior is usually just a sign of ignorance. To understand American education systems you have to look into what American values are. That's why, for example, you think geography is important and Americans know how to use a computer... (welcome to the 21st century :)

[webnut2000]

If someone in the US makes a video about this topic, it means that Americans really suck at geography!

[CountVanAccount]

Somebody should do rifftrax for those videos.
