Awesome that certain countries keep changing their place names insisting that it's so foreigners pronounce it "correctly" by using an irrational sequence of letters.

Why can't everybody copy the rational sequence of letters that make up the words of the written English language?

Must be too early in the morning. I Tried Sanya (and various spellings) for a full minute before I realized my mind had jumped to the wrong island.

I accidentally typed in "swagon" instead of "Saigon", then wondered why it didn't work

Interesting! :)

Edit did some looking around. Found lots of interesting things. But one I thought I'd mention is that just "sula" has a wide variety of meaning in different languages, very interesting to see. (I have come across this more often when meandering through wiktionary, and I always think, if you name something, a child, a company, whatever, be very sure to check if it doesn't mean something weird in another language :) )

I got both Syria and Saudi Arabia from guessing the belligerent Northern neighbor clue, and Sulawesi from guessing the orangutan clue.

It was interesting getting to the Sulawesi question and realizing I knew exactly the island in question but only knew it by the name Celebes...

Great quiz!
