How many americans think Scotland is in England?
Don't feel embarassed. I used to think Washington and Washington DC were the same place. . I also used to think Instanbul was the capital of Turkey. I overheard a student once who thought that Thai food came from Taiwan! Own up to your geographical blunders. Don't feel ashamed, we have all made some mistakes.

I used to think that Egypt was not a part of Africa.

As a grandson of the former President of the Clan Montgomery Society International, and having spent many summers at Scottish Games in America, I would have to say I've known Scotland is not the same as England for quite some time.

When I was small I might have, but my grandfather had a map of the British Isles posted in his home office and I learned the difference at an early age. I get confused by the countries that used to be the USSR--I can't ever remember their capitals.
5 :
Probably a lot. We don't have a lot of emphasis on geography here. It isn't taught in classes. I know that Scotland isn't in England :). I used to think the same as you with the Washington bit haha. I'm not a geography whiz though. Did you watch Miss Teen USA 2007, when Miss South Carolina messed up really really badly on her geography related question? I thought she gave Americans a really really bad name.

i never thought Scotland was in England, i thought it was close by tho, you mean Thai food isn't from Taiwan.

Student Visa Complications?
Student Visa Complications?
Hey everyone, so I was studying in Egypt when the revolution started. Unfortunately, my school forced me to leave and sent me to study in Istanbul, Turkey. I have an acceptance letter from a University here, but I need a student visa. They wont let me to continue to study on tourist visas. They are saying I need to go back to the states to apply for one, as you can imagine that is expensive and very inconvenient for a student. My question is how can I obtain a student visa in Turkey, or in a near by country!? Please help!

you can be communication with Turkey and another Embassies information Desk. You will be get in there a complete information about student visa. so go to the Embassy
2 :
I'm not an expert on Turkish student visas but I would guess that you can apply at a Turkish embassy outside Turkey. Usually you do not have to return to your home country but you do need to apply outside the country. I would recommend talking to your school's study abroad coordinator. This is the sort of thing they should really be helping you with. The Turkish school may be able to help as well.

Personally I would lean towards Australia or New Zealand. I think the culture there is interesting and it's not real likely that there will be any fighting between different religious or political groups.

Modern day Samsun, Turkey?
Modern day Samsun, Turkey?
I'm going to Turkey as an exchange student for my 11th grade year. I'm an American teenage girl, and I was wondering what should I know about this town? Modern day Samsun. I've been to Istanbul before...but Istanbul is pretty close to NYC. You can wear anything you want and do almost anything you want. But I know that Samsun is something different. So any tips?

Dress modestly. Keep shoulders, upper arms, chest, waist, and upper legs covered. Samsun is a city ....
2 :
It depends on where will you go in Samsun.Because If will you go the center of the city,you can feel comfortable and you can wear almost everything you want but If you go to the suburbans or If you go somewhere that closer to the villages,I think you won't feel comfortable enough because people are usually different there :) I haven't been in Samsun before,I'm from Istanbul but I heard and know these things about there. Anyway,Istanbul could be better for you because it matches with your life style as in NYC.
3 :
I was born in Samsun.honestly ı can say samsun is more liberal than istanbul.ı lived 20 years in samsun and now ı live in istanbul so it is easy to compare two cities..istanbul is sometimes a disturbing city for females cos there are too many perverts in the city samsun is not like istanbul.so be easy about samsun.
4 :
There aren't that many Turks in Samsun. Most of them are Kurds and they are conservative. basically cover yourself up and don't try to flirt with anyone. It's like opposite of Istanbul.
