Actually in my travels around the world when I say "Calgary" most immediately say the Calgary Stampede. then they ask..where is Calgary? Then it's another issue, to American's I first tried "about 200 miles straight north of Billings, Montana" after I see the confusion on their face I just say screw it and say 600 miles west of Seattle...I'm still amazed.
But in the end they all seem to have heard about the stampede.
