Yeah, King's Cross, London is probably much more famous around the world for its train station's being eminently featured in the Harry Potter books than King's Cross, Sydney is for anything else.
I sure guessed a lot of Chinese cities, but somehow missed the one it was. Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzen, Hongkong, Macau... and then others Singapore, Bangkok, Manila, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur. UGH! How could I forget that one completely?
Gangnam is very upper crust, so the song is all about mocking their snooty lifestyles. If they made a Mexican version of the song it would be called "La Fresa de Condesa" (Condesa is a really fancy part of Mexico City.)
I got it because I went to college in Boston, but I had no idea it was famous (I don't really think it is). Copley, Southie, and a few others are much better-known.
I lived in Boston for 11 years and cannot imagine who would think Jamaica Plain is famous... or why. I agree there are soooo many other neighborhoods that would be considered more famous; including the ones already mentioned, there's Beacon Hill, Downtown Crossing, North End, Back Bay, South End, Financial District, Kenmore Square, and – although no longer extant – the Combat Zone.
I'm from Boston, even lived in Jamaica Plain while in college, and I'm also surprised to find it on this quiz. Yes, Back Bay or Beacon Hill are much more famous and visually recognizable as Boston. I like JP a lot, but it is probably most famous as the home of the city's most notorious mayor, James Michael Curley.
The answers on that quiz pertain to each continent, tho. So Australia is the largest island in the region of Oceania, while Greenland is the largest worldwide.
Can we make Chicago's more specific? I'm sure it's more famous overall, but being from SoCal I tried San Diego for the entire quiz wondering why it wasn't working.
don't you...
