  • Girl 1: I had no idea Mount Vesuvius was in Italy!
  • Girl 2: Me neither! And I didn't know where Mount Saint Helen was, either.
  • Girl 3: I did. I mean, what other country besides America would have a Saint Helen?

Well... you probably wouldn't find a Saint Helen outside of the US... maybe England, but with the language change so does the Saint (San or Santo, etc..)so girl 3 wasn't too far off

And also, Mt. Everest is in China. That doesn't really sound Chinese. It has its own name in Chinese but English-speakers turn everything in English.

Um, Mt. Everest is in Nepal. But you're right, the English renamed it that in 1865, its real name is Chomolungma.
