Maps

[gerbie]

What a great game. I just love geography.

http://www.lizardpoint.com/fun/geoquiz/index.html

I admit that some of my scores aren't as they should be (I teach the subject...). My excuse: my mouse is faster than my brain.

Europe: 107/111
South America: 39/39
Africa: 85/147
Asia: 69/84
World: 32/33
Canada: 20/39
Caribbean: 48/72
Central America: 42/42
Middle East: 79/87
USA: 88/150

Given these scores, Canada should be my next holiday destination.

Europe 99/111 (Damn you Russia (Kalingrad) and Croatia!)
South America 36/39
Africa 118/147
Asia 81/84 (damn "stan"s)
World 33/33
Canada 36/39
Carribean (I didn't even take this one because I have no idea what any of those islands are)
Central America 40/42
Middle East 78/87
USA 149/150 (had a brain fart and confused oregon with washington. whoops)

I would have nailed every single one of these questions when I was about 12 years old though (I used to be a geography buff, heh)...haven't kept up on it much since then, though.

I didn't realise I had a second chance until the third or fourth map. But I do admit defeat, I'm well impressed with your scores there.

[athlongeek.livejournal.com]

Ahh, but you took 5 of the categories and I took 5, so it's a draw, heh.

[bitteroptimist.livejournal.com]

I am so geographically retarted, I'm sure my score would be shameful. I just can't get that stuff to stick...

Re:

[gerbie.livejournal.com]

I´m sure if we add the scores you´d beat me easily.

Re:

[gerbie.livejournal.com]

Don´t worry, I´m teaching Tourism. Most of my students would look terrible on this test.

[joy-joy.livejournal.com]

Canada, great idea! Canada and the Netherlands were made for each other. If it's before July 11th, I'd love to see you.

Otherwise, I'll show up on your doorstep someday this summer for a beer, okay?

[joy-joy.livejournal.com]

Oh! By the way, on your LJ account, can you do a search for people living in the Netherlands/ and or Amsterdam? You probably have no particular interest in talking to other Dutch people as opposed to any others. I would like to meet some more people living in NL, though.

I think this would be one reason that I might get a paid account for a while, though.

Re:

[gerbie.livejournal.com]

I've got one nowadays. Do you want me to do a search for Amsterdam or something similar? I think there are way too many in the Netherlands already.

Re:

[gerbie.livejournal.com]

You're welcome for a beer anytime in july. After the Tour de France I'll leave for Cuba, holiday. I guess Canada will be my destination as soon as I retire. More exciting/risky destinations should be done first.

[joy-joy.livejournal.com]

After you retire, hee hee! Are we THAT boring?

I know what you mean, though. I'd love to go to Sri Lanka for example.

[joy-joy.livejournal.com]

If you have time, it would be great if you could tell me some names of people living in Amsterdam. If you're busy, don't worry!

Hey man, I still owe you for the music and the book, anyway! Let me know if there's something you'd like from here, okay?

Re:

[gerbie.livejournal.com]

Can you read this link or do I have to get the names out there?

Re:

[gerbie.livejournal.com]

I never said you were boring. Not even your country. It is just an easy country to travel, I don't do easy countries yet!

[joy-joy.livejournal.com]

I can't read it, unfortunately!

Below are all users that live in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and have updated their journal in the past 7 days.


Okay I admit: they aren't below, they are above, but you know what I mean. Haven't read them. Can't tell much about them. 3 names are familiar, one community, one name from my friends list. Good luck.

[joy-joy.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I had a look at those people last night and found a lot of interesting people including a contingent of Canadians (OVER the age of 20!) living in Amsterdam. This may be useful indeed. I am looking for a language course to take this summer and someone who can explain some financial issues that seem to work very differently in the Netherlands than here.

There were actually very few Dutch people who write in Dutch. I don't know why this surprises me, but it does!

Re:

Perhaps MatthewG on my friendslist is an interesting person to talk to. He's an American and fell in love with Jellyrose and moved to Amsterdam for her. They're getting married next year. He had to wait for a bit for his permit, but is working now.
