I live near a beach and when I was little we'd go down to the beach almost every day. There's an island nearby, and when I was little I'd look out over the water and think that island was England.
When I visited my cousins in California I saw another island off the beach and desided it was Japan. On the way back I reasoned it couldn't be Japan, Japan's too far away. It must have been Hawaii.
A childhood belief about places
others believed things like this
- I thought Oklahoma was a place in Japan (due to it weird name :P), and Japan gave it to USA later.— Luiz Alfonso
- I used to think China and Japan where the same.— Lunarmoon
- when i was young i used to think japan and china were the same country— i like star wars
- I use to believe that Godzilla was real. And thought I could see him if we traveled close to Japan.Anon
- I used to think that Alaska was an island!— Draqula
- i used to believe that 'island' was pronounced 'is-land' instead. I know im not alone on that one! :)
