I think when people live in a part of the world where travel between countries is commonplace, it encourages them to pay more attention to geography. A recent contestant on a US TV game show struggled out loud to figure out whether Budapest was in France, whether France was a country, and whether they were kidding her about the existence of a country named Hungary.

A clip of the above mentioned scene:

And if you're going to Perth, will you please take me with you? 8^) 8^) 8^) A couple years ago, I made many trips to Australia while I had a year off. I visited every major city, and my favorites were Perth and Adelaide. (Sorry Michael...Melbourne is just so densely populated just like Sydney.)

To be fair folks, how many of us would be able to tell us what country certain capitals are in IF I picked from the list of African or Asian capitals. Even if I avoided the smaller city-states, I'll be our performance wouldn't be much better than that lady on the gameshow.

ps - Don't forget Tasmania (depending on what time of year you're going)!

Browsing . There are about 3 channels worth watching on TV these days, and one of them is the Weather channel.

Of course what Pam isn't mentioning is that around here, the Weather Channel IS the most important channel from June 1st to November 30th.
