When someone asks your nationality, you would easily say "India". What if the person next to you doesn't know a country like this exists? Well, it might get tricky to explain to him where you are from. A video of a woman telling her cab driver in Korea about India and rather introducing him to the nation has gone viral. In the clip, she is heard sharing some notable location and population info about India to help the cabbie know about her native place.
Piyusha Patil, an Indian woman living in Korea shared a video of her conversation with the driver who was unaware of India. She didn't reveal his identity but recorded his talks suggesting he had no clue about the country. The entire dialogue took place in the local language. Patil shared translated texts on the screen to hint viewers about the chat between her and the cabbie.
Take a look at the video
"There's something called India?"
The video started with the cabbie asking Patil in Korean where she was from. In her response she told him she hailed from India and was here for studies. When she said she was from India, the cab driver questioned her where was this place? He confused it with Indonesia at first and asked her whether she meant Indonesia and not India, but the woman corrected him and said, "No, India".
She then went on a geography lesson to help him understand where her country was. She informed him that on the map, India was in the south, neighbouring China and Pakistan. "Next to China but in South! and next to Pakistan", she said.
"There's something called India? What is the population?", she recorded the taxi man's voice before replying with the details. She informed him India was the most populated country in the world, exceeding China's count, leaving the driver stunned.
