Do you see those "Asking Americans Simple Geography Questions" videos and feel painfully embarrassed? I do, and it has fueled my desire to be more knowledgeable about our world. One thing to point out though, is that much of this illiteracy comes from lack of resources and education, rather than the actual knowledge skills of the persons themselves. I think it would be fun to start sharing some information on a different country each week through this blog. I am going to post the countries in alphabetical order for organizational purposes. I hope you enjoy learning with me and share with your friends and family.

Can't wait!!
