In my heart of hearts I pray you're not a military 'brat' as they term them. It would account for your knowledge of other countries/cultures that seem more then just garnered from reading. (My adversion to the 'brats' is because THEIR misconduct can and is taken out on the military sponsor. One young man decided North Dakota didn't need another tree, chopped it down and that poor sergeant got booted out of base housing--and no it wasn't me.
