Or maybe even know the exact/correct english name. I think many countries have that word translated to their own language. (Vrijheidsbeeld, Frelsisstyttan, Frihedsgudinden or my favourite Vapaudenpatsas. And so on)
Why would Opera House Sydney work? It's called the Sydney Opera House. There's an awful lot of people wanting to be spoon-fed on this site. If your first attempt doesn't work, engage brain and think, and try a different variation; after all, it's not as though you only get one attempt for each landmark.
I would agree with on trying on different variation, and that's what I usually do also for what I'm going to point out: in Italy it's widely and only referred as the "Tower of Pisa", no one every says "leaning tower".
Just curious: how much did it cost overall to have your car(s) bounced around all over the world like that? Surely you haven't driven all that distance yourself?
Overall vastly cheaper than renting a Ferrari or Lamborghini or something even remotely comparable for more than a day. Or even a Peugeot for about a month.
I knew Sugarloaf Mountain because there's a Sugarloaf Mountain in Greer's Ferry Lake in Arkansas, and when I was young I learned there was one in Brazil, too, and I thought it was cool.
Too European, if anything. Almost 40% of the landmarks are in Europe, which is about the same size as North America. Really, Africa should get three more and Europe three fewer.
That argument would make more sense if every landmark's name got translated in English. No one calls the Taj Mahal the "Crown of the Palace" either. It's pretty much impossible to know for which landmarks you can use the native name and for which you can't if you're not a native English speaker.
the accurate of this quiz is not quite good. I said the Chinese wall, the opera house en the pyramids of Giza correctly but that answer isn't right in this quiz so that is a tip.
So far seen the Statue of Liberty, Colosseum, Golden Gate Bridge, Empire State Building, Washington Monument, and Eiffel Tower. Hope all of you got to see some of these.
Fun fact: Did you know that the Flavian Amphitheatre today know as the Colosseum, was nicknamed colosseum for the colossus neronis, The flavian emperors decided that nero should be errased from history, so they removed everything referencing him but leaved the statue, so eventually people only knew it as the Colossus, and it was very impressive, so they'll say, lets meet by the Colossus and that evolved to the Colosseum (Or at least this is what they told me there).
as a brazilian i was so distressed over not getting "Sugarloaf Mountain". would never have guessed Pão de Açúcar translates to that but hey the more you know
Not to be that person but the image of the pyramid does not correspond to the Great Pyramid (Khufu) but to the Pyramid of Khafre, identifiable due to the cladding at the top.
Unlike something like colosseum or stone henge.
and it's only one car. At one point I had it repainted.
For example :
- Torre di Pisa
- Pão de Açucar
lol
"MA-choo PEEK-choo"
- Machu Picchu
All you needed to type was "Great Wall"
why would it ever be called macho pickachu?
As a non native english speaker, i have never heard that term. Got really frustrated when my answer wasnt accepted.
