7/10.  Missed two that would have been correct had I gone with my first guess.

WTF is a Kolkata?
Calcutta

I did quite OK, except for what should have been one of the easier ones in Rome.

Oh, that's were I went wrong as I was only using a 10" screen and couldn't zoom in, so was guessing by general shape, hence my 6 out of ten.  :blush:

I like how people don't feel constrained by spoiler issues. Free spirits.

Some people are jerks.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017
