Told her how i thought the world looked like when i was 9-10 and then we made a map on her current knowledge. Not to make fun of it, but for saving it for the future. Also, we are danish, not asian. We just like their culture, food and nature very much!

        You joke but a (NZer) family member on an overseas holiday got into an argument with a local over the existence of NZ. Family member, being a tourist, was asked where they were from and said New Zealand. Nothing strange there. Local said that NZ was a state in Australia. Confidently incorrect. When my family member tried to correct them, they argued they were right and the person who was from the actual country was utterly wrong 🤦‍♀️

    Not bad but it’s interesting how Vietnam and Nepal are on par with continents. I feel like this might have been drawn by someone from East Asia or South America, considering how it is positioned. Also noting Asia itself is not mentioned. There is no Middle East.

      Nope, danish. My 7 year old sister (and i) is very interested in the ecosystems of Asia. Especially Snow Leopards!

      I asked her and she said New Zealand on this map is merged with Australia, LOL. I actually see it now

    We did an experiment when I was in school to have everyone draw a map of the world, and I was told that people draw the country they’re from the largest and the most accurately, whereas other countries are often indistinct shapes and smaller in scale.

    This leads me to believe you are somewhere in South America
