When I was in Canada a few years ago I met up with a mate of mine who

down at a pub and one of his US working buddies claim how he had toured
the world with different acts, When I asked where he had been he rattled
off a bunch of US cities... I still giggle about that.

Yep, I've noticed that too. Sometimes the lack of knowledge of what exists outside the USA leaves me shaking my head
Sorry, but got to add my own...
Met a US merchant seaman in a New York bar (sounds like a dirty joke, but 'No'...read on). I said I was from Scotland - he said "Oh Yeah, that's just below Finland, kind up up from Germany right!?"
I hope he wasn't the navigator!!!
