Have you met someone from an obscure country?

Today I met a cab driver in Calgary that was from Eritrea. I had to look it up on my phone because I didn't know where it was or anything about it.

Csb. Eritrea is a part of the Horn of Africa, which is a region famous for providing cab drivers to us. Welcome to the world and the 20th (and 21st) century.

I met a guy from Iceland once. Not a very obscure country but definitely not one you hear about very often. Kinda like meeting someone from Delaware.

Knew some guys at UF who were from Eritrea. Told them that was a bunch of bullshite, that I know every country in Africa, and there ain't no damn country called Eritrea in Africa or on any continent.
Boy was I wrong

He was incredibly nice and proud of his homeland. He told me he immigrated to canada to escape the violence in Eritrea
He said he didn't like the cold but he lives in Calgary lol

She's a lawyer, but lawyers aren't ballers over there like they are here.

The woman I know from Eritrea is super nice. I met her the same week I kept forgetting Eritrea on the Sporcle Africa quiz.

I don't know why but I always picture all people from Luxembourg and Monaco as true ballers.

Actually talked to someone from Luxembourg tonight

Not off the top of my head
But, I was talking with a client this morning, and he was born in Florence and his wife is from the same town I stayed in for a summer. A small hill town SE of Rome.

I've worked with a couple of guys from Uzbekistan.

I work overseas so I run across people from unusual places on the regular.
Unrelated but yesterday on my commute home from work there was a crazy African man running down the street butt naked.
