Can you locate these on a map?

[jeps]

All of them easily.



As a NES'er you should be ashamed of yourself.

Actually, without repeatedly consulting maps, I cant place cities on NESing maps. It just seems weird. IDK why. On a blank map, I can do approximates, but not close enough.

Also, I know Vladivostok is on the Pacific coast, but I always though it was more bering strait area than near China.

All but Vladisvostok & Dubai.

This thread reminds me of 10th grade Social Studies (European Studies), which on the mid-term exam had a few map questions, one of which pointed to the area roughly between Italy, Tunisia, and Libya: ______ Sea?

I would have written The Gulf of Sidra or the Ionian Sea, depending on where the line =precisely ended.

Cheezy/IglooDude - Knowing no other seas in the area, I would have said Mediterranean.

Although I guessed on Val d'Or. Now looking on Wiki, I see I was roughly right.

 

[Spearthrower]

Only one I didnt know where was Atlanta.

 

[RE Lee]

Well, I know where roughly Moscow and Belarus are located, but I have problems pointing landlocked areas in a map, so I didn't check them in the poll (for example, on a blank map I may point to Tula region, which is next to Moscow, but not exactly Moscow). I confess I don't know the exact locations of Atlanta and Dubai. I can locate everything else on the blank map, through.

All except Okinawa. What's that?

All except Okinawa. What's that?

Island, part of the Ryukyu Islands, southwest of Japan proper. Former US base and as a result a tourist trap for japanese who wants to know a little piece of the US. The Ryukyu Islands are home to the non-japanese japonic languages.

Inspired by the thread saying 20% of Americans can't find America on a world map.

I have 25 locations, in the poll select all of the ones you are sure you know where they are. I if you would have to guess or are not completely sure where it is then don't select that option.

Poll coming...

are u sure this "20%" is not children?
If not, then holy crap we are morons -____-

I read the thread. I'll only be impressed if someone scores well on this.

I had no clue where Vladivostok was. I figured it was Russian because of the name, but it could have very well been any other former Soviet city as far as I knew. No clue what its importance was.

I knew in the general area of Somalia but I couldn't remember which country it was. I knew where Dubai was though which is pretty strange.

Those were the only two I missed. Took me a minute to figure out where I knew Belarus from, but I remembered it was the country that got hit hardest by the Chernobyl disaster and that it was north of the Ukraine.

I'd say not bad for an American

GAH! I only got 71/75 in Mid East
