Test Your Geography!


When I'm craving a trip to faraway lands or when I'm wanting to leave behind all the responsibilities of life (endless chores, homework, projects, reports, papers, exams, traffic lights, alien landings), I escape by surfing the sites to uncover the ever-growing mysteries of this diverse world and test my knowledge of geography. (I love maps!)

Why do I torture myself in this manner? Well,...I do it for two reasons:

a) So I can grow despite feeling like my brain is decaying,

b) Just in case the Internet will magically transport me to some exotic place while clicking away: (like sloth-watching on deserted black sand beaches, hunting for sugar cane through primary rain forests, paying pennies for savory sweet street foods and collecting picturesque portraits of dancing mini-monkeys, dirt-faced children and wrinkly-faced grannies.)


Sigh. Where's the next adventure? Where to go? More importantly,...do you wanna come?

I suppose I can settle on this for now...Geography Trivia and Challenges! But don't worry, kiddies...it's already March! Only 3 more months until summer! Where do you plan to go? Travels? School? Test out your world knowledge. And who knows? These may just pop up on a quiz some time. Enjoy!

-Wrong, Wrong, Wrong! But Try Again Game

-Annoyingly Smart Childish Squirrel Game

-And You Say You're Asian?!

-Be Won with the Middle East


Miss you all as the days are getting brighter. I'm proud of you, 401!

Keep up the hard work!

Yum! What's this?

1. Can anyone guess what this special steamed goodness is called?
2. If so, what ingredients goes into making these?
3. Where is its place of origin?
4. What are you supposed to eat this with?
5. When do you eat these funny fruit look-alikes?
6. Have you tried these? If so, where have you eaten these and what do they taste like?
7. Who made this one?
8. Where was it made?

Oh, so many questions to fill and yet my stomach is STILL empty.

Grrrr.
