    Nice – I’m terrible for those kinds of quizzes! I scored 60% for Tokyo but 90% for London. What did you get Shane?

    Honor – I scored 80% but I have to admit to guessing at some of the answers. This wasn’t the easiest quiz but I did learn some new things, so it’s all good!

    I’m surprised the question, “Which ward of Tokyo is known for having the most expensive hostess bars?” wasn’t included.
