I know what you mean. They think the whole middle east is about arab spring, ISIS and al-qaaeda. And we still live in tents and have camels to ride for transportation :P

Haha... I know the feeling. I can't even begin to express how sad it is when I tell people I'm from Africa and the first thing they say is something along the lines of "oh my god so you must have seen a lot of lions" 

Can't bring myself to tell them that the only time I have seen lions, monkeys, elephants or anything typically associated with Africa was at a zoo in the states when I first went there as a child.
