Know Your Asian Capitals

I had to memorize the capitals of countries in Asia in second year high school. My teacher quizzed us on it through graded recitation, which really made me nervous because of the potential public humiliation of it. I passed, and until now I still remember the capitals of Oman, Turkey and Laos -- but I have no idea where they are on a map, or what kinds of cities they are.

The Asian geography tutorials on the Sheppard Software site put it all in perspective. Choose an online quiz (there are tutorial, beginner, and other levels) and you'll learn capitals and countries and where they are on the map. The Tutorial level also gives basic information about the capital city, just so you know a little more about it.

Once you've familiarized yourself with the region's geography, try the Asian Capitals quiz on Triviaplaza.com. Did you pass?
