I had a student ask me how many koreas could fit inside Canada, I found out the answer was 100, then I asked each of my classes, the students, uni and high school came up with mostly 2,3, 5, 10. Nobody came even close.

Wow...you're awesome. Does that make you feel more like a man? Just like how the Canadian patch on your backpack makes you feel?

[Stormy]

Pretty similar to Aus I'd imagine.

[Scaggs]

wow ... weird replies.

I think it is fun and good for the kids to try and put things in perspective like that. It is hard to conceptualize what thousands of kilometers really is ... putting it like this might actually help them understand something about the world.


I didn't see the OP as saying that the kids were foolish or that Canada is 100 times as awesome as Korea.

Well maybe they thought you were talking about the habitable/educated part of the country?

The kids often lament that Korea is small, which it is, but there are many countries even smaller.

Korea is 109 out 235 on this list:

why are you so proud of how geographically large canada is? you should be ashamed that such a massive country is of so little international importance.

i have no idea how big canada is, i have no idea what the capital city is, nor can i name any towns cept qubec and toronto? Same with placing states in the U.S.A

Why is it so surprising that not everyone in the world knows this shit...

Do you know the capital of nz?? Do i care that you prob dont.

I thought toddswift was a well documented troll... an american trying to be a typically annoying canadian.
