Post by awp101 »

Since the quiz on South America seemed interesting to some, here's one on Asia.

I got 17 out of 20...

How well do you know Asia?
Certain portions of the Mekong River, intimately... certain portions of the coastline, very well; but the rest of it, HK? Although, there are a couple of clubs in Hong Kong and Sasebo that I vaguely recall. A couple of others, very well, and fondly.

* note: The abbreviation "HK" means "who cares". Just FYI.

I got six right out of the first six... 8)

By that, I mean I got number six right, out of the first six, 1-5 of which I got wrong. . . :oops:

Fortunately for my ego, the computer lost the link after that. :D

p.s. I had to go back (like the bounty hunter in Outlaw Josie Wales). . .

. . . wound up with 8/20 overall. . . :|

16 out of 20; should have done better since I lived in Asia for nearly 9 years! Had no idea that there were Sierra Madre Mtns in Asia, must be in the Phillipines?
