Toronto
Studying in Toronto for a year. Finally decide to go up the CN Tower a week before I leave. Looking at the view, overhear old English couple talking about the Air Canada Centre, where hockey and basketball are played, which they could see (it has a big sign with a Maple Leaf and 'Air Canada Centre' on the roof).
Woman : "What's that?"
Man : "It must be where they store the planes."
The ACC's surrounded by roads and skyscrapers on all four sides....I was horribly ashamed of my country. Not knowing what it was I could understand, the gross stupidity of the statement nearly made me weep!
