after I moved from the east coast (US) to California people used to ask me all the time if I was near 'this or that' and I'd be all...'have you seen a map of California?'

Classic giggles!
*looks at map of Australia*
Doesn't seem that far away! LOL! But if you look at a map of the US, and if it's about a 12 hour drive, then that would be like me driving from my little area of the world to Orlando, FL for Disneyland...which I would never do....for Disneyland...I'll drive it for Universal studio's Harry Potter Theme Park, and I have totally gotten off the subject!!!

True story. I took cultural geography college and I was trying to explain to this dumb frat boy that Australia was a continent not an island. He looked right at me and said 'same thing'. I don't know if he passed but if he ever goes to Australia he is in for a bit of a shock.

well we're taught that it's the largest island... and the only nation that's a complete continent.
but tasmania - that little bit at the bottom is like 300k's long.

It is hard to get your head around a country's being big enough to be a continent. Especially (as you said somewhere here) because of the relatively low population.

but it must seem bizarre to europeans who fit a dozens of countries in the same space we have one, and yes - with less people in australia than are in greater london - or so i've read.
hope the drabble worked. it was tricky thinking of something for the prompt.
