Wow, at last an Asian quiz where every other answer isn't in China! They must not like the letter K that much.

Hmm.. I left Kowloon off of my recent Asian travel quiz in part because I thought nobody would get it, but 30% got the answer here. Maybe I'll add it.

I would have thought Hong Kong was one of the few Asian cities where you might be able to drill down below the top level and still have Westerners get answers correct in half-decent percentages. Although perhaps my view is skewed, having formerly lived there.

I really like the Asian geography by letter quizzes. It's probably quite nice to do more about Asia for a change.

Didn't know about the Christian heritage of Kerala. Most of the Indians in Khobar in Saudi Arabia seemed to be Keralite Muslims, and in their ads online offering rooms for rent they would always specify Keralite Muslims only need apply. I suppose they had to learn to hate other religions somewhere.

There is a strong Christian culture in Kerala as well as the Hindu (still majority but by a smaller margin compared to the rest of India) culture and a Muslim culture. Each strong and with its own unique identity, but Kerala is known for its religious harmony and more or less peaceful coexistence of different religions and sects. A lot of the Hindus here eat beef and have a a very loose approach to religion too.

Thanks. kalbahamut, wise and well travelled though she / he may be, shoots from the hip sometimes. Won't apologise either and prefers rambling arguments. Sigh. Never mind, let's appreciate her / his many informative comments.

Why would I or anyone else feel that I needed to apologize for sharing an observation about the ads placed in Khobar for rooms for rent? I'm not making it up. Fully a third of the ads I saw some places there had "Keralite Muslim only" or "Indian Muslims only" in the headline of the ad. It stuck out to me because such discrimination in housing is explicitly illegal in the United States. I just went to one of these sites a second ago to look and quickly found new ads with the same wording. Honesty should never be apologized for. Comments like this.... people are convincing me to become more and more misanthropic with every passing year... I'm not proud... but like I said above... hate must be learned somewhere.

The question seems to suggest a predominantly Christian heritage - now, or at some early point. That's not the case. It is the most Christian of major Indian states, but that's different.

Completely agree. The question seems to imply that the high standard of living is a result of Christianity, despite the fact that Kerala has far more Hindus and Muslims than Christians.

I don't think that Kazakhstan would be considered landlocked. It has some part bordering Caspian sea which would make Kazakhstan a "Non Landlocked Country". Please consider it and correct me if I'm wrong.

Not this again! It might have the word "Sea" in its name, but it's not a sea in the conventional sense - it's called "Sea" because it's huge and "sea-like".

Mind blown? What about when you learn that in the Japanese hiragana there is no anagram as one is kyouto and the other is toukyou (i.e. only a short 'o' on the end of kyoto), Kyoto being made up of the chinese characters Capital City whereas Tokyo is Eastern Capital.

Trivia fact: Kowloon is a site of the most densely populated place in the history of the world. Kowloon Walled City had population density of mind blowing 1,400,000 people per 1 km. Currently, it doesn't exist anymore.
