Jaywalking really was an eyeopener for me years ago. People not evening knowing who the current VP was, really simple stuff.
I had never heard of Madeira ever before and had to look it up awhile back where u were exactly, I thought it was closer to the south iberian coast. its less known and even like Galapagos, or Seychelles, people hear or see the name but need to guess. Geography wasn’t like a huge repeated theme when I was in school. Public schools I went to were more interested in propaganda as I recall. Always recall all the anti communist stuff, and civil rights drivel, vietnam war, nuke drills once a month to hide under the desk (stupid) all those subjects seemed to go on the news and classroom every year. My last formal real english class was in 8th grade, really was lame they didn’t force it every year. I learned much more on my own after graduating.
