Have you met someone from an obscure country?

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

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

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 was in the same class at Squadron Officer School back in the day with a pilot from Cameroon. Guy was obsessed with american tv and used to fall asleep in class everyday. He finally got a stern talking to and would then stay awake 'most' of the day.
