We had a nanny from Kazakhstan back in 2010 (I think I've shared this story before).
And yes, she sang the "Bing Bong" song to my 2 year old daughter exactly same as Borat sang it. |

What is the most obscure country from which you've met a person?
Have coached football players from Armenia, Saudi Arabia, the Philippines, and Romania.

I've met a people from a lot of different countries, easily more than fourty, but mostly when I've been overseas.
Oddly enough, on my foray into North Korea I didn't meet any North Koreans.

We had a group who formed an informal [though formal enough to scrimmage the University team during International Week in the Spring/offseason] international soccer club in college.
Played with guys from Jordan, Oman, Ghana, Egypt, Paraguay, and I'm sure others, of course a few Frenchies and Brits in there too.

I've had students from so many countries it's hard to remember any more. I guess Qatar and Tunisia would be some of the more obscure ones. Nothing really crazy like Andorra, Seychelles, or Vanuatu.

If you do a lot of international travel, not only do you meet many people from that particular country, you meet many people on the planes and trains during the traveling itself.
I would say I've met people from no less than 150-175 countries.

I recently learned that a woman with whom I work almost daily grew up in Liberia. I would never have guessed.

Cuba, Congo, and Bulgaria on the list. I also met someone from Ghana off of the list. Fairly obscure. Greeks are another people you don't just meet everyday on the west coast of the US, yet I did.

I guess I win since mine isn't on the list.
A few years ago I met the US Ambassador from Sri Lanka at a farm in Iowa. Nice guy. Was amazed at the size of our farm equipment. |
