All 12 year old Emanuela wanted for her birthday was a K-POP themed party for her and her friends, but her dad made one slight mistake. Instead of the requested K-POP theme, the Brazilian dad misunderstood, and gave his daughter a North Korea themed party instead, complete with Kim Jong-un banners, flags, and a political-themed cake. Luckily for him his daughter had a good sense of humor, and the party went viral as a "parent fail". Have you ever accidently mixed up the two Koreas -- one being the country of amazing skin care products, Korean BBQ and of course -- K-POP, while the other is a restrictive, dictatorship country where K-POP is banned?

Mixing up Austria and Australia is a long-running, mostly humorous, internet gag rather than a frequent travel reality. While viral memes claim travelers often fly to European Austria instead of Australia (and vice-versa), no dedicated airport help desks exist for this mistake, as funny a story as that would be. Here are some other countries that people tend to mmix up...have you ever mixed up these countries?
