of course. but once I was in in England, somone asked me where do I come from.
"Czech Republic"
"Ah, Cherrepubla, of course I know.... Where actually is it?"
"A bit East of Germany"
"Ah, Germany, of course! So your from Germany?"
It really depends on how much the guy is educated.
I'm sure 1/3 of my classmates would look up Philippines on the map, and if would be mispainted as Japan, like in the clip, I'm sure they'll pin it.
