Police once apprehended a man at a train station in Kyjov (Kiyov), Czech Republic. He was reported to be drunk but they only found him terribly confused. Turns out, he was a Ukrainian trying to return to Kyjev (Kyiv) but a cashier in another town misunderstood and showed him the wrong train.

At least that’s the same continent and not literally on the other side of the world.
He only had a 150km detour. You can’t blame him for thinking “Kyjov” is the Czech spelling of “Київ” as he might not even have known the alphabet.
Oh that’s not bad then. Like still sucks but not too far
Kyjov is 1000 km from Kyiv.
As a Pole i can relate being confused by sudden exposure to Czech language.
