I scored 60% for Tokyo and 90% for London. Sorry but I love these kinds of things. Enjoy http://www.nationalgeographic.com/places/p...tokyo-quiz.html -------------------- Cheers and all the best, Honor My Webpage

Then again I got 100% for Paris and I've never lived there ever. Go figure -------------------- Happiness isn't a destination; it's a means of travelling

I've never lived in London either - am a Northern lass from the UK but Tokyo has been my home for the last 7 years. As you say - go figure! -------------------- Cheers and all the best, Honor My Webpage

The London ones I knew apart from one which I guessed. Tokyo the ones I guessed I got wrong - no luck for me -------------------- Cheers and all the best, Honor My Webpage

I did better on the quizes for San Francisco & London (90% each), where I only visited but never lived, than Seattle, where I've lived for over 20 years. Anyone else do this? -------------------- All the earth is my home and each nation a different room in the same house.
