I included both Saigon & Ho Chi Min City. Oops. Was also thinking of Bangladesh. The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass.

Timbuktu is a real place... in Mali (africa)! You'll need a replacement, young lady.. Macau is an administrative region (like Hong Kong) in China. I think that's acceptable for the purposes of this thread. [Edited 2/1/14 18:27pm] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

All of your others seem great, but I don't think this is a city. [Edited 2/1/14 19:20pm] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I was embarrassed that I couldn't do more of the "...stans." I did get Islamabad, though. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

it's kind of cruel that you guys keep mentioning Hiroshima/Nagasaki but not Yokohoma or Osaka | |

Not looking at any replies ...I want to but I won't.
Tokyo Hiroshima Siagon (knew someone who was there during the Vietnam war) Phnom Penh (one of my son's school friends was from there) Uijeongbu, South Korea (remembered this from MASH-no spell-check so this may be all wrong) Hong Kong Beijing Java ( never forget a movie I saw as a child, Krakatoa, East of Java-stuck in my head) Pyongyang, North Korea (remember Rodman visiting) Jaipur, India (remembered because my fave movie right now is The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) Bali
wow I can't think...must be this beer.
Oh oh I know...
Taji, Iraq because my son was stationed there. Bangkok (from that crazy song-one night in bangkok) Manila (worked with someone from there) Dubai (from Sex in the City and the high-profile rape case)
geez... half is all I can get right now.
I always try to remember them by association. [Edited 2/2/14 0:09am] "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |
