Could have sworn I typed in New York... must have made a typo...
I'm not sure I understand the quiz, though. Do Tokyo, Shanghai, and Paris all have exactly the same number of bookshops? Or are those just the top 3 answers? And what's the difference between a cinema and a theater?
I remember looking at very similar data before but that data also included the size of these cities which showed some got a very unfair boost because the municipal limits as defined made the city 10 or 20x larger than some of the other cities. I forget which ones.
Sorry, the numbers were unspecific. I'll change that.
When I think of a theater, I imagine a place where they perform plays like "Hamlet" or so, and in a cinema they show movies. Is there any way to make the word theater more specific?
Hmm.. not sure. Americans just call cinemas the "movie theater" or "theater" for short. They use the same word for places that show plays or musicals.
Another thing, I wonder if they count all of the museums of the Smithsonian as a single museum, because there are 20 museums part of the Smithsonian in Washington DC alone, and a bunch of museums that are not connected to the Smithsonian in addition to those. Many of which are connected to the government somehow though I don't know if that makes them "national" museums or not.
I looked it up, "cinema" is just the British word. That's at least one thing the Americans screwed up! I added "(Stage)" to Theater, hopefully that's clearer.
