If your imagination about countries you have never been to are based on movies, it’s time to get a reality check. It’s because there’s more to Brazil than Rio de Janeiro or the Carnival. Because India is not all about cows and the Taj Mahal. Because England has many cities outside central London. You got the point, right?

“I’m Australian, and I swear, every movie I see when a person from America or anywhere else travels to Australia, they land in Sydney or Melbourne, and it’s just a few hours drive to “the outback.” It would take you a day and a half to drive from those places to the outback, and that’s only if you don’t stop to eat/get petrol.” – KermitTheFraud92
